Cindy--

$80 per set of gortex pads is very inexpensive if the pads do not have to be
replaced. Standard pads may last a few years, but multiply the cost of replaing
them over the life of the clarinet (don't forget to add the labor costs), and it
becomes evident that gortex is the way to go. The only question is how do they
compare to standard pads or leather pads, and the effect on sound quality.
