Being rather new to the clarinet world, I'm getting confused by the multitude of kinds of pads and their associated designations? I have tried a search but the confusion is still there? I have seen references to cork and leather pads (no problem here) but also to "bladder pads", "double-skin bladder pads", "fishskin pads", "kid (or kit) pads", "synthetic pads" (Teflon, silicone rubber, goretex, microfiber?) and perhaps others. Could anyone give me a list of the most commonly used pads and enlighten me as to the materials used? For example, what is "bladder" and "fishskin"? Thanks for your help.
