Re: Caring for leather pads.

I was given the advice from Emilio Lyons of Rayburn Music (Boston) to use "Old English" furniture polish on the leather pads that he installed on my Wurlitzers. The idea being that it will prevent them from drying out (which WILL occur with constant exposure to condensation).

He recommends taking a strip of ordinary paper (notebook, printer etc), getting it damp with the furniture polish and just running it under each pad once in a quick swipe. He recommended doing this at least once a month. Since this takes such a short amount of time and effort, I see no good reason not to do this.
