Description

If you play the saxophone, you know that the key pads can stick and rot the more you play. At Key Leaves, we believe that instead of laboring with cleaning paper, pad powder, or pad treatment oils, the best cure for sticky keys is leaving them open to air dry so that they can't stick to the holes in the first place. Made with soft and flexible silicone, you only need 2 props to slide right underneath the E-flat and C-sharp key arms—opening up the G-sharp as well—ensuring that the stickiest keys can air dry safely and effectively. When left closed, key pads trap moisture in the sax, causing rot, mold, gunk, and bacteria to appear, which is a risk to your health and can also result in unwanted trips to the repair shop for pad replacement and deep cleaning. When you pair daily use of this product with regular swab cleaning, you can reduce those frustrating repair trips caused by moisture buildup and neglect of your instrument. With just 1 set of Key Leaves sax props, you can save money and keep your sax in your hands longer—giving you more time to do the thing you love—make music! A small and portable addition to your saxophone accessories, Key Leaves sax key props stay attached to your sax even when it's in the case, allowing your instrument to dry while you travel. Safe to use on any type of saxophone, this saxophone pad saver is soft and flexible, so it won't bend your keys or cause damage to your instrument. This key-pad prop system is super easy to use and even easier to clean. Made with silicone, it can be wiped clean and even put in the dishwasher! This saxophone cleaning tool is effective for alto, bass, baritone, and tenor saxophones (we offer a separate product for soprano saxophone). It doesn't matter if you are a professional tenor saxophone player in a prestigious orchestra or a beginner alto saxophone player in a high-school marching band. Key Leaves sax key props will become your favorite sax accessory after your first use. ✓ Safe in sax cases and on instrument finishes ✓ Proudly made safe in the USA ✓ Flex, rotate, adapt to vintage & modern saxes So we torture tested Key Leaves products by never cleaning these saxes for a year! Disgusting test. Amazing results.

A good solution at a fair price – I've bought my third one
Style: Single
I gave the sheets four stars to make my review easier to find, as the product has received many five stars. I think they deserve five stars. Why did I do that? Quite simply, to address the price, which some reviewers consider too high. The problem is that they only see and evaluate the final product. They don't understand how expensive it is to produce such a simple tool. From the idea to the first design and the first sample to production, it's a long and expensive journey. You spend a lot of money without knowing if there's a market for the tool. I worked in parts production in the automotive industry for a while and know how expensive the machines are to produce such a part. Hot material is injected under high pressure into a heavy metal mold, which must withstand the high pressure. The process is manual because there is no mass production. Only a few products can be manufactured per cycle. Since no one has such machines in their garage, they hire a specialized company to manufacture custom parts. These companies also want to be paid for their work. Before you've even produced a single saleable part, you've already spent a five- or even six-figure sum. Since I assume that the idea and design of the reed came from a saxophonist, it's all the more understandable that they want to recoup their investment. Therefore, I think the price is reasonable. The product certainly is, as there are already cheap copies on the market. I like the reeds. I used to use paper and saxophone cleaning wipes, which were neither practical nor effective. P.S.: After extended use, I'm still very satisfied, or even happier – no more sticky keys, especially the G# key. I immediately ordered another one for my new saxophone. I also give it five stars, as this product deserves! I've bought my third one for my new (third) saxophone! ... show more

Great for all Sax players!
Style: Single
I am a woodwind teacher and have always had trouble with my G#/Ab key sticking. I keep my horn clean, so it is really unnerving to be playing and wondering when the thing is going to stick. I saw Key Leaves and thought it was worth a try, they aren't expensive, so I'd take a gamble. I put them on my alto and they were easy to install - just slip them under the key arms and VOILA! Your keys are up and able to air dry between playing sessions. They work perfectly inside the case, or while the horn is sitting out. They are easy to remove when it is time to start playing. They seem durable, and the silicon will be easy to keep clean, just throw them in the dishwasher! And, they work! My keys don't stick, and they no longer make that "smacking" sound indicating stickiness. They work great! ... show more

Fixed my C# key

Super good quality, it helped unstick my tenor sax low c# within a few days of using it!

Solved my pad sticking problems
Style: Single
These are a bit pricey for what they are, but they are a good design. Solved my pad-sticking problems. Easy to use. I like the fact that the shapes allow you some adjustment so you can keep the pads off the seat without putting too much tension on the springs.

Key Leaves helps reduce stickiness for certain keys
Style: Single
This product works to help reduce sticky Eb, C# and G# keys on saxophone. It props all three keys open so they can dry. It is no substitute for using a pull-through swab to remove moisture from your horn after practicing. But it does allow the pads to dry when they are not in contact with the tone holes, which helps keep them from sticking. The item is overpriced for what you get, and there are substitute products that may work as well, but I have not used them. Folks could probably find something to use to prop open these two keys (Eb, C#) and have the same result. However, Key Leaves are soft silicone, so they won't scratch your sax lacquer. So great value? No. But these do the job and are convenient to purchase. ... show more

Innovative product!
Style: Single
If you want your pads to last, you need one of these! As I practice, I rinse out my mouth before playing but, this add a further protection against sticky pads. They are easy to use and are soft as to not hurt the horn. I highly recommend this product!
