Good questions, Fred! As a proponent of leather pads on all sizes of clarinets and saxes (I even put them on my personal oboe, heaven forbid!) I am not concerned about their porosity, because in my experience, the pads work very well, last a long time, and their failure modes are relatively benign compared to those of bladder pads. As we used to say in the US Navy, a device is good if it:

Works fine,
lasts a long time,
fails safe,
and drains to the bilge*



*maybe this last requirement is not so important for clarinet pads.........


If perhaps I could increase the porosity of my left eustachian tube (still somewhat plugged after three weeks), then MAYBE I could hear a difference between leather and bladder pads --- nah!
