Re: Fish Skin Pads for clarinet

That's still not fish skin nor fish leather - it's goldbeater's skin.

I've seen some old 19th Century flutes, oboes and clarinets still with their original or old skin purse pads like that and they're goldbeater's skin and others with their original or old leather pads which are kid leather.

If it is fish skin, then please tell me which fish it's from and explain the entire process from catching the fish to a finished pad in detail without skipping any bits.
