Re: What are the best clarinet pads?

I'm not sure, the upper pads are gone, and the lower pads are leather resonators but the leather is hard to distinguish. It's a 7 ring Silva-Bet with an adjustable barrel and I can't find a thing on it regarding specs or manuals.

So good white leather would work well given the type of tone holes it has.

Which brings me to brands...make my own? Buy from the best, whoever the best is? Or is it tolerant enough for some sheepskins?

If I had my old Buffet, I'd cork the uppers and double-bladder the lowers with Buffet pads. But these are interesting horns.

Any recommendations would be helpful!

What I might do is take recommendations and try 'em out on my 3-stars, or my Boston Wonder and just see what happens. But I gotta start somewhere...fix the horn first, though.

Buffet Bb R13
Evette-Schaeffer Bb
Auguste Buffet Bb Enhanced Boehm (circa 1920's)
Selmer Silver Bb Full Boehm (Nov 1930)
C.G. Conn Metal HP Bb Double Wall (1895)
Silva-Bet Silver Enhanced Boehm Bb (1930)
