"For the first time in what felt like ages, I was able to play without discomfort. I hadn’t realized just how much strain the traditional thumb hook had been placing on my hand until I experienced what it was like to play without that pressure. The relief was almost instantaneous, and I began to see the combination of the thumb hook and a poorly designed neck strap as the primary culprits behind my condition."
"If you’ve ever gotten dents on your right thumb or experienced tension in your right forearm, you should look into removing your thumb hook. I replaced mine with a @keyleaves thumb rest!"
This whole concept, it's really a good concept. As a repairer, the concept of holding the keys open is really a nice thing to let the pad leather dry.
These are a life safer for pads.
Have been using the Vent Vine and the key props at c#-g# since March on my Buffet Senzo saxophone and couldn’t be happier with the product. Nonstick pads forever! If your horn has problems with sticky pads due to humidity or just normal playing, you need to get these!!
I use these on all my saxophones! These Key Leaves do exactly what they say they're supposed to do.
I repair saxophones and am a teacher in the area... I think these products are absolutely fantastic.
Overall I think Key Leaves are an excellent value and present some wonderful benefits for saxophonists for a low price.
The short of it is that Key Leaves are a no-brainer for saxophonists of all ages. After using the Key Leaves on alto and soprano, as well as the Vent Vine, I can say for certain that these products are not only well designed and made, but they are a true necessity for maintaining any saxophone. With Key Leaves’ products, I no longer have issues with any pads sticking, or making “sticky” noises while I play. Every time I teach a masterclass in Texas I get asked about the “weird green things” I’m putting on my saxophone and I’m always happy to share these products and recommend them to students.
Diggin' the newly acquired Key Leaves! Sticky C#, G#, and Eb BE GONE! Next up, the Vine for the palm keys! Thanks Key Leaves for one helluva product!
I have struggled with sticky G# keys for a long, long, long, long time...however since I've been using the the Key Leaves I've not had a sticky G# key. Fantastic!" [watch video here]
I’ve been using Key Leaves since the NAMM show after a friend recommended the products to me. I have to say, they’re doing a lot of great things for me. No sticky G#/C# keys!!! I have so much less to worry about when I’m using these products. It makes my stage life easier.
Thank you for this amazing product! I really don’t know how I ever lived without it, and I’ve even got my students using key leaves as well. I haven’t had a sticky C#, G#, or Eb since I started using them on my alto, it’s remarkable, especially considering Austin’s erratic and humid weather.
I truly love this product. I wish I had this 10 years ago!
