Hello
I'm looking for a new source of good quality 4mm thick saxophone pads. Ferrees is what I'm considering now, either the B52 or B58 pads. I would like to know how they compare with other pads. If you know other sources that are a good option this will also help.
The pads I'm familiar with are the Premium Deluxe from Music Center and 350 from J.L. Smith. Music Center are very good with very good leather (best I found so far) and firm, but are a bit expensive for my small orders and takes very long. Smith pads are also firm and good quality except the leather which I don't like very much (and they also increased prices a lot recently).
I'd like to find pads which compare pretty much with the firmness of the Smith pads (almost identical to Music Center Deluxe, just a tiny bit less firm) and with the good quality leather comparable of the Music Center pads. Ferrees might work as they are made by Music Center.
Thanks very much!
