Re: Roo-Pads
I dont consider myself a pro but I do play a lot and have roo pads on one of my horns. I have had them on my mark vi alto since 02 so 8 years now. They have been incredible though they have a slightly different feel from normal pads. I have only had to have the horn adjusted once since they were put on, possibly because of the repairman I used is amazing. I wish he was still doing overhauls.
As for my other saxes I have pads from JL Smith Co out of Charlotte. Jeff overhauled my alto and is now in the manufacturing side of things. I have had great results from his pads on my tenors and soprano and have stopped looking any further for a better pad as they last a long time and have little problems with me playing apx 40hrs a week on them.
Hope this helps
