Good morning, group. I would like to know if someone can help me with the size of the pads for the Tenor Selmer Super Balance Action (SBA) 1950. Thanks very much!

the best way is to measure the cups or the pads

Pad Size Tool

There are only 15 pad size tools left in stock and once they're gone no more will be made. If anyone is interested check them out at the link in my signature. Thanks.

Music Medic might be able to put together a set of pads specifically for that sax:

still, measure is always a good thing to do. I bought sets which didn’t match

Actually I have been back on the forum for quite some time, but with a new name: Saxoclese. I am no longer making and selling the "Padsize Tool" but if anyone is interested they can use the file posted by milandro to make their own. I will be happy to help and answer any questions.

Unfortunately the Selmer pad size charts I have all start with the Mark VI model, as does the sizes on the Pisoni website. They are bound to be close to the SBA sizes, but a few pad cups may be different. The best and most accurate way is to remove the existing pads and measure the keycups to the closest 1/2 millimeter.
