Works Great!
Style: Tenor Sax
I purchased this for my tenor saxaphone and it works exaclty as described. It fit very well with no problems. I paid $4.14 for this item and was very pleased.

Doesn't fit in Yamaha Tenor, nor the case.
Style: Tenor Sax
I previously bought a pad guard of a different brand for my alto, and it works great. When I searched for one for my tenor, this one came up and D'Addario is a good brand (so I thought) so I bought one. First this swab won't fit all the way into the sax. The fibers get bunched up at the top, against the handle, as you push it in. This already makes it pretty much useless (the other brand tapers the fibers at the top, preventing this from happening). To get around that, I took a small dowel and kind of stuffed the fibers into the top of the sax, to make it fit. Obviously this is impractical to do every time, but I thought I'd try. I eventually got it to fit, but the problem now is that the handle is too big, and the sax won't fit in the (original) case it came with. Strike two for being almost completely useless. Lastly, the other brand has much thicker and densely packed fibers, and they don't fall out like these do. On this one the fibers started falling out right away. How did D'Addario put out such a poor product? It boggles the mind! ... show more

Why does anyone think they can get away with selling junk like this?
Style: Tenor Sax
For the past 30+ years I used a similar product to dry out the bore of my tenor. I think it was called a Pad SAVER. It finally broke at the plug end. The fiber that did the drying was thick and resilient, and filled the bore tightly. I could clean the G# tone hole and pad by holding it open and pushing the swab up and down, and the fibers would push out through the tone hole. It worked! (It still works and I have gone back to using it. This new one is made with sparse, wispy fibers that apply no pressure in the bore. It is like a cheap version of one of these new dusters. It is useless, and I doubt it would have lasted very long. Maybe I can find the plug to my old one, put it back together (what I should have done in the first place), and have it for another 30 years. What makes anyone sell crap like this? Do they think we are stupid? ... show more
