"I've also yet to find a reason not to use leather, but I'm sure someone out there has something to say about it."

I prefer bladder pads, mainly for two reasons - I prefer how they feel in the fingers (slightly harder than leather), and I prefer their sound (not the clarinet sound, but the clicking sound of the pads themselves).

"What kind of leather pads are you folks referring to? Like brown leather saxophone pads or like white bassoon kid pads?"

As far as I know, there is no difference other than colour between white, brown, black or any other colour of leather pads. I think the brown ones are simply white ones with brown colour.

"Of course Germans swear by leather to the point they will look at you as if you had two heads if you even suggest cork might be used instead."

I'm not saying this is not true, but I'm just wondering what experience you have that you can make such a genralization? I don't think any open minded and reasonable person (or clarinet player), regardless of their origin country, would dismiss any idea without atleast trying to understand the reasons for it.
