GO FOR THE GOLD & IMPROVE YOUR TONE
pat. #6344604 & #6940007
JS pads have Gold on the surface for the ultimate in tone. Metal particles are also embedded directly into the film. This high tech achievement gives you an extremely durable pad. Using a Metalized pad is like using a pad that is entirely resonator - all that beautiful tone is reflected to the listener. Leather hurts your tone by absorbing it. Recover all that lost tone by installing reliable JS pads - its the best thing you can do for your horn. The flat soft surface makes a perfect and quiet seal when closed on the tone hole. They are well worth the cost and will save you money by lasting many times longer than leather pads. You will find the tone they bring to your horn to be unequalled by any other pad/reso combination.
JS PADS SHINE WITH THE FOLLOWING QUALITIES:
- They fit right into conventional saxophone cups using the common floating method. Domed stainless steel resonators are standard. Domed smooth faced nickel silver resonators are special order.
- They do not swell with moisture, warp, dry out, or rot.
- JS metalized pads are absolutely airtight and seal much better than common leather pads.
- The pad surface is extremely durable, thin/flexible and the pads are very quiet when closed against the tonehole.
BLACK GOLD
These special pads have a significant portion of black dry lubricant (MOS2) embedded into the surface along with the gold to prevent sticking. This dry lubricant darkens the color of the "Black Gold" pads.
GOLD PLATING
The Gold plated pad is the same as the black gold pad except that it has an extremely thin layer of gold added. It shines with wonderful tone.
Note that Gold plated pads are relatively new and the sticking qualities due to sugar building up on the gold plating is presently unknown.
Smooth resos are also available.

SELF LEVELING PAD SPRINGS
Go to SAX PAD INSTALLATION
for details on self leveling pad springs.
CLEANING
To clean a gold pad, insert an alcohol swab over the tonehole, close the cup and drag out the swab (or use rubbing alcohol on cloth). For any pad that has a tendency to stick - order "JS Magic Dust" . This dry lubricant works great. It is non-toxic and being a lubricant - it can only help the keywork. JS Gold pads have a portion of magic dust embeded into the skin along with the gold. The dry lubricant releases slowly throughout the lifetime of the pad to prevent sticking.
