We're working to make the world a more musical place by helping you sound your best on an instrument that's fine-tuned, clean, and comfortable.

Our Roots

KEY LEAVES® is a Seattle-based family business specializing in wind instrument care products that keep your instrument clean, better sounding, and more comfortable.

Our first patented product featured tiny green leaf-shape props that open saxophone keys to air dry after play. This helps horns play better with less repair.

Saxophonist and Key Leaves founder, Rulon Brown

Founded by a Musician

Key Leaves was founded by Rulon Brown, a professional saxophone player and music teacher who grew up repairing horns at his local music store. Like all saxophonists, Rulon ran into the problem of sticky key pads that cause playing malfunction and costly repair.

So he created Key Leaves natural-care products to eliminate sticky keys and help musicians sound their best.

The Evolution of RULON

Building on the success of Key Leaves, Rulon grew the patent and product portfolio to include Barinana™ baritone saxophone cleaners, GapCap® end caps, Vent Vine™ key props, Spit Sponge™ pad dryers, and the RULON product line.

In 2022 Rulon Brown launched RULON, a line of musical instrument products that give wind players luxurious comfort and the performance edge they deserve. RULON products include ergonomic aids to help you play pain free, tone adjustment devices, music education tools for faster learning, premium instrument cloths, and more.
