Subj: [kl] gortex pads

I know folks have been asking about Gortex pads. I thought about
getting some.
Boosey & Hawkes kindly provided the following:

>>They are sold in complete sets or in packs of 10 of the five sizes
>>available, 9mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 15.5mm and 17mm. They are only available
in
>>one thickness which should be considered medium thickness. These can
only be
>>purchased through a repair shop or music dealer. The retail price for
the
>>sets is $90 and the packs of 10 are $48. Best regards, Mark Sorlie,
Boosey
>>& Hawkes Musical Instruments, Inc.

Since I am restoring old metal clarinets, the size range is not
adequate. Currently, I am using white kit pads from Ferrees. I also
like the plain old double skin bladder pads. Anyone else want recommend
a new type of pads? preferably something
available in a wide range of sizes from 7mm to 17.5mm and also available
in thin as well as medium.

cheers
jim
