Fish Skin Pads for clarinet

Well, tickle my perch, it seems Fish Skin for clarinet pads does exist and would probably have been more likely to have been used back in the 1800s.

Maybe I will be lucky after all, in my quest for an authentic renovation of an 1830s French 13 salt-spoon key clarinet.

The remains of the original pads certainly appear much more translucent and thin-skinned than Kid Leather, just like Fish Leather would be.

So no goldbeater's trade secrets or intestines thanks
