Sitting at home tonight thinking I will start to change the pads on my 1930 true tone alto.
(pads arrived from music medic last week).
Chose a big pad to change Ist.
Took the cup off, undid the snap, removed old pad---no metal backing--just felt.
measured internal dia of cup= 1.7855"dia (ish)
The closest match in the musicmedic pack is 1.6555"dia and is metal backed(I assume the metal back is correct).
According to the Haynes bible and common sense, the pads should be a tightish fit---this is way too loose and doesn't give a big room for error as the tone hole is only 1.587" o/s dia.
Any body got a clue before I send it to stephen.
