I have a pair of Buffet R13s (Bb and A). I have all
the pads on the upper joint except for the pad that
is operated by the 2nd finger of the left hand padded
with cork. This includes the octave key.

On the lower joint I have the Bb/Eb key padded with
cork.

The remaining pads have double skins and I have never
had a sticking problem.

I also had this done on a Selmer wooden clarinet
I used during my high school and early conservatory
years and never encountered any problems.

During regular maintenance work my technician
re-surfaces the pads but he has never had to do
a complete replacement of them.

regards,

Noreen
