Re: Which Pads??

I remember reading on Peter Eaton's website that superpads were the 'standard issue' on his clarinets. After looking it at quickly now, it seems he's developed his own pad (looks like we're on the way to having as many pad posssibilites as mouthpieces . . . yippee . . . )

Dave S. repadded a clarinet for me a while ago with all leather pads (he used brown leather pads which if I recall correctly were not treated with a waterproof agent). That clarinet I had and used primarily for a short while (maybe a year), however throughout the year it sealed well, played well, and felt comfortable enough for me.

I see nothing wrong with leather and it seems like a good enough choice that I would choose it should I need to get a clarinet repadded again.
