I believe the pads are French Chamu' pads with metal resonators. I only spend about 3-500 dollars on my repads for my saxophones. That's not that much money. I...

Hi folks, Been awhile since I've posted to the group. School is crazy busy for me. Just got an e-mail from Steve Goodson, with pics of the restored Selmer!...
That's not off topic! It's a sax ain't it? :) That's great news. Be sure and send us some pics! I'd love to be a mouse in the woodwork and see Trim's face...
