Thanks Chris. I ordered one today and now know the proper way to use it. Thanks for all you do.

Getting into sax and this video really helped, had an idea and wated to run it by to hear thoughts on it. I keep 2 silicon packets in my case to keep the sax dry and the case as well, still seeing if it will do anything to it.

I used to do that as well, mainly because I live in the south and it's humid. Honestly, though after trying it for a few months I couldn't tell any difference and really that's what the pad saver is for as the horn should be completely dry before inserting the pad saver anyway. The main thing is drying everything thoroughly. I've even started using these "spit sponge" cloths as part of my drying process www.amazon.com/Sponge-Saxophone-Dual-Texture-microfiber-cleaner/dp/B07Z8JCBG3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1HIBUHWOW8TYY&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5E4h6x7ahaIp7mYvgI5Q-uvxjTj_Kvate-nPdWlv3gIAZl45Mo3zowlLCcB-QsolVWBL7vwLR3FfuKgaeAioLdVrTDLW8S-Jbo0tJquzpXyjx1pt816hioLwdggSJziVV8Skgok1en1zkSL-IPV2-suRYLPlM5fYgveXMzCnTS_bJog9skJgQRv8q3fOZhfGzmjXflCfUAPvXZ_JpaJE8yLcWmX0xNGqo1Pk2K_bAxXn8x_JcFi_-F8whHmkOAUxW_jKgKmhYU_osPcwpyvfEmYNlcobVWslHzzK5H_2e6I.ENKeHi2PYUkAPgp7hR8Q5bVr9TO-KZKwV1bl9P2xPBc&dib_tag=se&keywords=spit+sponge&qid=1720191794&sprefix=spit+spong%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-1
They allow me to get any water off the pads after swabbing. Hope that helps!

Excellent video l have been telling my friends for years the pad saver is not areplacement for swabbing. It should be used like an appendix to capture the little moisture left after swabbing. Excellent documentary.

[@ChrisGodbersax]

Thank you, yes it is absolutely the last step. I have also implemented using the spit sponge I got off amazon to dry the pads in-between each keys as well and for $5.99 this does wonders. I'll probably do a new video on this sometime, but here's one if you've never seen it. amzn.to/3BoubcS
