"I never leave the pad-wrecker in any sax"

Have you had any of your saxes 'wrecked' by them?

I've used a tenor neck saver in the top coil of my bari for the past 18 years (since it was new) and it's spotless.

My current alto (YAS-875EX) is now 5 years old and I've used a pad saver in it from day one (as I have done with my previous 62 altos which had the older style of Yamaha pads that weren't coated) and as of yet there have been no ill-effects. The G# pad has never stuck in all that time.

As I said, I wouldn't use or recommend them if they did any harm to my own instruments - my own saxes are the last instruments I would want to do any serious work on.
