Subj: Re: [kl] Synthetic pads or felt
Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 22:17:25 -0500

Greetings Jack,

I have Gortex pads on my lower joint and I love the response and longevity
of them. Buffet now has gortex pads on some models. They seat great and I
can use the lightest touch with them. I always have had cork on the upper
joint with no problems.

Try it, you'll like it
