JS pads have Gold or Silver on the surface for the ultimate in tone.
Metal particles are also embedded directly into the film - this high
tech achievement gives you an extremely durable surface. Using a
Metallic pad is like using a pad that is entirely resonator - all that
beautiful tone is reflected to the listener instead of being absorbed
into the pad. The flat soft surface makes a perfect and quiet seal
when closed on the tone hole. You will find the tone they bring to
your horn to be unequaled by any other pad/reso combination.
Because JS pads are made specifically for each instrument please be aware that orders for JS pads may not ship for 1-2 weeks from the order date. In the comments section of your order, please state the model and approximate serial number of your instrument. This will insure that you get the correct pads and help speed up delivery.
JS Pad floating technique for a perfect seal:
First float the pad onto the tone hole as level as possible. Then, with a leak light in place and the pad lightly closed, warm the cup only in the area of the leak and use a sharpened wire to pull out the plastic rim of the pad in the area of a leak. Try to warm the cup while you are pulling and viewing the pad so you will know when it is warm enough, remember to not overheat the pad cup. |
