 Re: non- sticky pads?

I've had numerous 'sticky pad' problems over the years, mostly with bass clarinet octave vents and upper joint oboe pads. The solution is CORK pads. Bladder pads are prone to stick, leather pads slightly less so but still prone, and the only synthetic pads I've tried in the past (Valentino and Norbeck) were the worst of all.

Unfortunately good cork pads are rather expensive and are hard to seat properly (the tonehole rim must be completely level and free of nicks or dips); but they work well.
