Re: Clarinet pads

"if the pads aren't only flat but also shallow, you may go for Oboe pads which are thinner than normal.

I used oboe pads on a G. Rudolph Ueber clarinet, which has smaller pads than any other Bb clarinet I've ever seen, with less lift. When I bought it, standard pads were fitted and it was out of tune and stuffy, but after I repadded it with thin oboe pads it played and tuned well. Some of the oboe pads were actually too thin, so I backed them with cardboard discs.
