This is really cool. I'm hoping to try it soon on my first sax. I would like to make it playable again by replacing a few pads towards the top of the instrument. It would be nice to have a backup horn, and this might help me do that without being too expensive.
You can do it! Neo Pads are fun and easy to install! Try a few independent pads first like Side C, Bb, alt F#, low Eb, C and the palm keys to get the process down. Then start with the stacks.
Ryan thanks for the information, I would like to know how much a set of Neo pads and kit for a The Martin tenor 1954 range #190169 .My horn tech retired during COVD and I have more time than money, I have fixed a pad or two thanks to you guys I would like to work on my own horns where do I start.
We've got tenor Neo Pad sets available here: www.musicmedic.com/mainpads/saxophone-pads/individual-saxophone-pads/neo-pads/neo-pad-set-for-tenor-sax.html If for some reason you don't see your horn you could measure the pad cups and do the conversion for the Neo Pads, the order an "Other" set and provide the sizes in the form. Don't forget the rubber toughened glue with the pads!
Thanks for the information Ryan! Is there any Neo pad available to the size of a selmer BA tenor available? If not i would like to know what size or what type of pads a selmer BA use? I didn’t find any information about what modern pad is best suitable for the Selmer BA. I would appreciate so much if you would know all that information. Thanks!!
These will work fine on Selmer Saxophones. You can adjust the pad height with the additional Spud Kit. Don't forget the rubber toughened glue! You can find sets for Balanced Action Tenor Sax in Neo Pads here: www.musicmedic.com/neo-pad-set-for-tenor-sax.html
On a re-pad if you start by installing these in the G# and Bis keys first and work you way out you'll be in good shape as far as setting heights in the Right and Left Hand.
Ryan....always smooth as silk. Great information and concise!
Thank you so much we hope it helps!

How are they going to fare on the F F# G# regulation?
