Fixing Sticky Saxophone Pads

Sticky saxophone pads are annoying and can be devastating in a live performance. Most players have experienced the pain of a sticky G#; the player presses the key expecting the accidental, only to be made a fool by surprise and unwelcome G-natural.

For decades, band directors have taught their students to remove water and residue from pads using the “dollar trick.” However, this method is less than ideal because it can actually leave behind more sediment, chafe the leather, and damage the pad in the long term. Key Leaves have come out with a viable alternative, Spit Sponge! Many thanks to Rulon Brown and the Key Leaves company for answering all of my questions and supporting these reviews.
