Re: Pad Sizes

I just went a remeasured the pad cups after putting a new battery in my calipers.

Readings are much more consistent:

Inner / Outer diameters: (rounded to nearest 10th)

Upper Joint:

9.3 / 10.8 (10)

8.5 / 9.7 (1)

Lower Joint:

15.8 / 17.2 (4)
10.8 / 12.2 (2)

So based on that, for felt pads, I think the data from Selmer is correct for this horn: (or close..)

1X 9.0 (Maybe a 9.5?)
10X 10.0mm (Maybe 11?)
2X 12.0mm
4X 17.0 mm

I guess my new question it how to round the measurments, Would a cup measuring 8.5 / 9.7 be better with the specified 9mm or a 9.5 or 10mm?
