RooPads

Kangaroo leather is one of the strongest light weight leathers available, which contains highly uniform fibers and elastins throughout the skin thickness. This structural uniformity explains the greater tensile strength of the leather, resulting in amazing abrasion and tear resistance.

The first layer in RooPads™ is kangaroo leather that has been tanned according to our exact specifications and imported from Australia. Next, we import the finest felt from Europe to achieve an even, firm feel that remains stable in dry and damp climates. The backing of the pad is a consistent and rigid cardboard that grips the shellac or adhesive in the pad cup.

Each pad is hand-assembled and quality checked in our shop in Wilmington, North Carolina, USA.  RooPads™ are better:  RooPads™ reduce pad noise  - RooPads™ offer a firm professional feel - RooPads™ leather is the most durable

RooPads™ are used by professional saxophonists all over the world, including RooPads™ endorsing artists, James Carter, Dave Watson, the Mana Quartet, Paquito D'Rivera and many others!
