They've messed up my order the past 2 times, and the pads they sent me for my basset horn did not seal and had to send me roo pads instead. To their credit though every time I have had a problem they have been very helpful and polite and the replacement pads they send me are usually quite good. I've also ordered sheepskin sax pads from them that were very good

That being said, I have had some major quality problems from other vendors like Music Medic and Instrument Clinic. As of right now the best leather pads for clarinet I can find are available from Zheng Hao music:

The fact that the major pad manufacturers in the US can't compete with the quality from a Chinese company with tons of spelling errors on their website is just sad. The leather pads from Zheng Hao are dirt cheap yet are usually quite high in quality and seal perfectly. I hate the fact that I have to buy directly from China, but until US manufacturers start putting more focus on quality there really isn't a better option I've found.
