Hi
I'm wondering what is everyone's opinion about the roo pads for solving sticking pads problem. I'm mostly interested to know about the black roo pads but also the white ones, both from Music Medic. I'm interested in real comparisons, such as having good non-roo pads and then changing to roo pads. Not necessarily all the pads but even just some sticky ones. Comparisons with especailly sticky (stock?) pads are not significant to me.
The reason it's interesting to me now is because the roo pads are advertised as less sticky than non-roo pads. There is no real specific information about what non-roo pad, etc. However the more I see saxophones overhauled with black roo pads the more I think they are not really less sticky. I don't have 100% objective comparisons. But when I compare overhauls I did (with the pads I like, not roo) with overhauls I see with the black roo pads, with as similar conditions as possible i.e. tone holes, area of the player, amount of playing, cleaning habbits of the player, etc. etc. the black roo pads seem only very slightly less sticky if at all.
If you found roo pads less sticky in as identical condition as possible, what pads did you have before to compare with? Maybe the white ones tend to be less sticky than the black ones, I have only seen very few of the white ones.
Thanks
