Re: What is the latest on clarinet pads?

I was liking the MusicMedic pads in black leather, but recently the diameters have been a little more variable than they used to be. Anyone else notice that? I have used these on some professional overhauls and the owners seem happy, and have them on one of my own clarinets. They are harder than the Pisoni plain leather, and have rounded bevel that floats pretty well.

I have used the Valentino Greenbacks for some time; the quality has improved considerably and the 0.25mm sizing is useful for some British and American clarinets that are originally in English units (1/32") to get a tight fit. They seem cheap in the hand and sometimes expand during floating, but the results are generally very good and lasting. They are perfect for rentals...

I have the Masters pads in one of my clarinets (overhaul done by someone else). I like the feel and they play well. I have not used them myself, as it's a meaningful investment for my small shop to set up for a new pad type. The music store through which I used to get work and order materials closed up shop a few years back and I'm at retail prices these days...
