Where can I buy individual pads for my sax? I have an old Orpheum alto. I bought online a cheap set of pads and put them on. The set did not have all the correct sizes. I need to buy a few individual pads. Thank you.
You still need to measure them both for thickness and diameter. Saying that you have an old Orpheum ( most probably an Italian stencil made by Rampone & Cazzani or Orsi) won't help you much or at all, you need to provide a size or even send the pad that you want to rerplace.
Yep. I needed a couple of clarinet pads. The tech at one all but threw me out. I never went back for anything. You are correct that there's another shop somewhere. Another shop sold me as many as I wanted with a smile.
Good to own a digital caliper to measure the inside of the pad cups to get the exact fit. I buy all my sax pads from MM.
