Description
Valentino Green Back pads have gained tremendous popularity and success among repair technicians, as well as professional musicians and band directors. And many stores prefer them in their rental stock because of their durability and long life. Two of the major band instrument manufacturers, Yamaha and Buffet, install Green Back pads at the factory on all of their student clarinets.
Whether working with standard bladder skin pads or
Green Back pads, opinion varies as to whether a 'seat' or crease in the pad
surface is desirable. If a seat is used, it is generally agreed that it
should be of minimal depth.
With skin pads a seat is generally accomplished by lightly clamping normally
open keys. Green Back pads can be given a seat by using a hot air gun (low
setting) held for a 4-5 seconds several inches away from the pads. Then hold the
key in a closed position until pad cools. Light action key clamps (see #4702
Key Clamp) may be used if a deeper seat is desired. Keys that
are normally closed will form their own seat without heat or clamping.
Sizes 11.0mm - 12.0mm have no holes
