I would recommend them to plastic/resonite clarinet players. The only =
place I get lint in my Armstrong is the mouthpiece.

Subject: Re: Pad Savers
I tried pad savers for awhile but found that the instrument quit
playing properly. I was told by a repair technician that I should not
use them. They leave lint in the instrument which interferes with
the seal of the pads. After servicing the instrument, it played OK
again. I still used the pad savers and sure enough, within a few
weeks, the instrument quit working reliably. I tossed the pad savers
aside, and in a few weeks, the instruent started to work more
reliably again. Based on my experience, I do not recommend them.
Carefull swabbing with a lint free cotton drop swab will do a good
job. pull it slowly through the instrument to allow it to wick
moisture dropplets from the tone holes in the instrument.
