Re: Leather Pad Review & Stepped Tone Hole Mystery

Kalashnikirby, are you talking about leather pads or microfiber imitation leather pads (which are not made of leather)?

In my post I was referring to the latter, which used to be sold regularly by Music Center (FKA Pisoni) and by one supplier, but are now only available as custom order from Music Center. Actually that supplier donated them all to a repair school because of lack of interest.

They are the same as the leather pads on the inside, it's just a different material. Unfortunately I haven't found a synthetic felt pad that I think is as good as real felt either. The several I've tried were all more springy.

BTW I'm not in the USA and usually order pads directly from Music Center or from other suppliers in Europe. I have pads from Music Medic, Precision and J.L. Smith (Valentino) too (and a few others).
