Hello,
I have a Gear4music chinese saxophone, with chinese pads... The only thing I don't like on this sax is pad stifness. Fingers feeling is a bit rude/hard. I was used to more soft and sensual feeling of Yanis or even Yamis sax pads. Sometimes I forgot about my new sax finger feeling, but sometimes I don't like it and I don't feel the sax as good I should.
I know that some pro saxes use less or more stiff pads. Very rigid pads on perfect leveled toneholes are supposed to have better setup stability. But does the action feels that "rigid", like on those chinese pads?
What do you prefer? Stiff or soft?
Thanks to share your opinion
