Subj: [kl] "Effer" Pad Preference poll
Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:26:35 -0400

Seems like "effers" come with standard felt pads on
everything but the register key which usually is cork.
I'm wondering what other effer players prefer for a
pad set up and why.

Question: What type of pads do you have on your
"effer" whether you use stock padding or have it set
up custom? Bladder felt; leather; goretex; cork;
combination

Question: Explain your preference of pad set up of why
you like or don't like.

I'm considering having my "effer" repadded corking the
upper half and leather on the lower end. What I don't
like about bladder felt pads is their tendency to
stick or sound "fuzzy." My sense is that cork and
leather padding would eliminate these issues.
