Our artisan pad slicks were designed for professional technicians who do padding day in and day out. These are made from stainless steel, with an aircraft aluminum handle that is well balanced and feels good in the hands. The pad slick itself is offset from the handle to allow clearance around resonators, allowing you to easily adjust the back of a pad. They come in three sizes to give you plenty of working surface for various size woodwind pads and instruments. Learn More

This small tool is a padders best friend. When installing woodwind pads with shellac, it is important that the pad hit the tone chimney evenly around the entire circumference. After heating the shellac behind the pad, use this tool to press up any high spots or parts of the pad that hit before the others. Once all the high spots have been lowered, use the Pad leveling tool to pull up any low spots in the pad. The long reach and special arch of this tool help to reach the back of the pad for leveling.
