A note about the drying papers...

I've tried both the woodwind drying papers that Zonda includes in their reed packs, and the papers used by beauticians when doing perms. The perm papers absorb some moisture, but are slow to absorb and really slow to dry afterwards. They're sure cheap, though!

The woodwind drying papers are like wicks and suck up the moisture very well, and in a couple of minutes are dry again. I fold mine in two to give them more strength to fit under the pad. They can be reused lots of times and mine end up wearing out before they're tossed so I have packs of them left. I've not used cigarette papers but they look similar, but am told they have a line of glue on them. Perhaps they're just as good?

I too have found that once the instrument is warmed up there's not so much of a problem. The tech changed my A key pad to a cork one, and that's never been a problem since. Mine consistently bubbles in the side Eb/Bb key now.
