Re: Selmer 9 Pad Cup Sizes

I remember now. Everyone suggested thick pads for student horns. When I tried them they wouldn’t fit - I couldn’t get the pad cups level. I’ve been using mostly 2.5 and 2.7, if memory serves (it’s been a while). IDK what I’m doing different, but there are several possibilities.

I may be using harder pads.
I may be using larger pads, so they don’t fit as far into the pad cup.
I may be sitting the same size pad “higher” in the cup (using more glue).
I may be setting the pad cup (the “key”) lower.
