The leather clarinet pads come in 7mm though 35mm diameters, in half-mm
steps, so they're good for everything from Eb sopranos up to contras,
though Ferree's recommends getting the sax pads instead (they're thicker)
for some new models of alto and bass clarinets, including recent Bundies.

The leather pads from Ferree's are good quality and I have used them often.
However, without modification, the larger diameter pads are seldom thick
enough for many bass clarinets, including most Selmer models, not just Bundys.
