"The Oboe Key Leaves are great! It fits on and gently holds the keys open. Oboe players have enough to worry about, especially now as the temps are constantly changing. It's really nice to know that the pads and keyholes are able to air dry with less of a chance of sticky keys. There is no surprise quite like the wrong pitch coming out during a solo because a pad is stuck! It's one less thing to worry about. :) Thanks Key Leaves!" - Michelle Tolentino (Oboist, Coordinator for Community Programs, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Orchestra Manager, Kean University, Educator)
