Valentino Pad

I was trying to order a set of "Valentino Pad" through WW&BW, but they don't have a pad set. Only the way I can get Valentino Pad is ordering kit which includes clamps, pin,.... Anybody can tell me how can I get just pads.

Thanks.
Valentino doesn't accept direct order anymore.

I like the Valentino 9.5 mm med.-thick pads for the upper joints of plastic clars, and use reg. skin-covered felts for the lower joints. I have heard some say not to use them on pro woods as "under-tones" etc may be produced, that hasn't bothered me! EAsy to use, they take seat and last well. I order mine from the local music store via catalog selection and get slight discount! I did get a pad-set, but really didn't like it. Don

JJ,

You have to be careful with pad sets. They don't always match up to the keys. I take off all the keys, remove all the pads, and then bring the keys down to my local repair shop. He then matches up the pads, and usually makes various recommendations. I then pay him for the pads. He only charges a couple bucks over his cost for the whole set, and I know I am getting all the proper pads.
