Re: Clarinet kangaroo pads

Kangaroo leather is tougher than kid leather and has a much tighter structure - it's used commercially in the manufacture of motorbike gear due to its excellent scuff resistant properties.

I've been using kangaroo leather pads on saxes for a long time now and so far they're all lasting very well. I haven't had any complaints about them, so from that I can gather everyone whose saxes I've repadded are perfectly happy with them.

I haven't tried them on clarinet as of yet as I still have a reasonable stock of leather pads that I use, plus the fact I use cork pads extensively on clarinets as opposed to skin, leather (only the largest pads in most cases) and synthetics.
