I have a pad question. My recent addition of a Conn tenor had several shabby-looking pads. It played fine, but two pads were down to cotton, so I took a chance. I received the new pads and found my small screwdriver. Luckily for me, the two keys were palm C and high F#. They have got to be the two easiest to re-pad, because I DID IT! They were really easy to remove, and the pads popped out with the aid of my small screwdriver. My question is, when I put the new pads in the cups, they wedged in snugly that I wonder, do I really need glue? If you answer 'yes' then I'll probably have a problem getting them out of the cups again. Have I outsmarted myself? First time I ever attempted sax repair.
