Re: Pad Cleaning/Drying Paper

A new Dead President (legal tender) works one heck of a lot better (soy ink) After blowing out the tone hole on to cigarette paper (un-gummed), slip the bill under the offending key, hold the key down with slight pressure & pull out the bill. Repeat a few times. Oil will gum things up. Woodwind-All in a spray canister is a much better alternative. Just spray that on to a corner of the cigarette paper & do the same thing as with the bill. That should guarantee that the pad won't stick. If it still sticks then the rod holding the key needs to be lubricated. I use ATF; cheap & it works great. A quart will last you ten lifetimes.

Best,

john
