You’ve just finished a long practice session, and moisture has built up under your saxophone or clarinet keys. Over time, that trapped humidity makes leather pads swell, stick, and even leak – causing buzzing notes and stuffy response. This absorbent paper is made specifically for woodwind players. After each play, slide a sheet between the pad and tone hole, press the key gently, and let the paper soak up the moisture in under a minute. Each box gives you 100 large sheets (5cm wide x 10cm long). Keep your pads dry, your action clean, and your instrument playing like new for years.

1. Why do saxophone keys get sticky or slow?
Moisture from your breath condenses inside the instrument and soaks into leather pads. Over time, this causes pads to swell, stick to the tone hole, and even rot. Regular drying with absorbent paper removes that moisture before it damages the pad.
2. Can I reuse the same sheet multiple times?
Each sheet is intended for single use. Once it’s absorbed moisture, the paper becomes saturated and won’t dry effectively again. One box of 100 sheets will last a long time with normal use.
3. Is this paper safe for synthetic pads (e.g., Kangaroo, Valentino)?
Yes – the paper is soft and non‑abrasive. It’s safe for all pad types: leather, synthetic, and waterproof pads. It absorbs surface moisture without damaging the material.
4. How often should I use the absorbent paper?
After every playing session, especially if you practice for more than 30 minutes or live in a humid area. Also use it if you notice any pad sticking or sluggish key return.
5. Will this paper damage the finish of my instrument?
No. It’s designed to be gentle on lacquer, silver plate, and nickel finishes. Avoid scrubbing – simply place between pad and tone hole and press lightly.
6. What’s the “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” offer?
You can order 3 boxes for the price of 2. Each box contains 100 sheets – so you get 300 sheets total. Perfect for teachers, repair shops, or regular players who go through paper quickly.
