Product details

Description

Oboe player Ari Cohen Mann recommends using Spit Sponge pad dryers to prevent sticky oboe pads and water bubbles while playing. He is quoted in this image saying: "Sticky pads and water bubbles are an oboist's nightmare! Spit Sponge helps me sound my best."

Spit Sponge pad dryers are super thin, ultra absorbent, and dual texture with a soft top to clean delicate pad leather, and a micro-grooved bottom to remove gunk from tone holes.

  • Replaces wasteful pad paper & powders
  • Never Fray laser-fused edge
  • Washable for years of use
  • Fight tone hole corrosion
  • Reduce pad rot & repair
  • Easy-fit shape

Obsessing over oboe gurgles? Frustrated by sticky flute fingerings?
Bewildered by bassoon bubbling? Get that spitty mess out of your instrument with Spit Sponge™ pad dryers.

TheSaxophonist.org gave the Spit Sponge an "Outstanding Product" designation. They preferred the woodwind size Spit Sponge for soprano saxophones. Try our sax-sized Spit Sponge for bigger saxophones
