 Re: Can I use bassoon pads for clarinet?

I think you will find that most bassoon pads are made with a much softer felt than is really suitable for clarinets. This is because basson toneholes tend often to be less even since many of their holes join the surface at an oblique angle and/or have several small holes covered by a single pad.
They also tend to be rather thicker than clarinet pads which could give a problem in getting a correct seat.
You might get away with them on an alto clarinet but why not use brown leather pads .
