Re: Who makes the best pads and springs?

What professionals prefer differs from country to country. Cork on the upper joint was standard in the US when I started repairing. Now I use mostly Masters pads on professional clarinets, but I don't hesitate to use another pad in specific spots or upon request.

How well the pad seals is just as important as the pad type. For the pads I use and to get the results I want, that requires working on the tone holes and refitting the keys. For those with less experience I would suggest a pad that takes a deeper seat – like most leather pads or a softer synthetic. I will do this myself sometimes
