RE: Stick-on pads

To: music-grl: I understand the stick on pads are to be used for "emergency" use only and I have heard that they do indeed have a tendency to either "move around" or even "fall off".

To Mark: Thank you for your quick response to Gordon's initial post. IMO, young people need as much positive reinforcement as they can get.

To Gordon: I bought an old Vito V40 off of Ebay and replaced all of the pads with Valentino Grenback pads from top to bottom by myself. IMO, you are indeed correct that some of the hole alignments can be extremely close to the edge of the Grenback Valentino pads. However, I have, so far, not noticed any problems with the "near edge" pads as far as leaking is concerned. As to the buzz or fuzzy sound of the perfectly flat Valentino Greenback pad, I have not noticed this on my clarinet and actually enjoy the clarity of sound that it produces.

Good clarinetting, everyone!
