Saxophone (Quick) Repair Topic: Pad Ironing

Saxophone repairman Matt Stohrer of www.StohrerMus... gives a quick overview of what pad ironing does, and why you may want to consider doing it.
The pad slicks used in this video: www.ferreestoo...
I typically have two sets on hand. One I leave completely straight, and one I bend the handle into a Z shape like seen in the video to provide more access on an assembled horn.

Great video as always. Would you be able to demonstrate how you get a really good seat on your pads? I have never been able to find a video that actually shows the process of obtaining a good seat in saxophone pads. I have never been pleased with mine, which is why I ask. Thanks man, be well.

will this help with the pad on the neck on an alto-sax?
