Replacement Pads for Oboe Repair
Shop oboe pads and related supplies for individual pad replacement, ongoing maintenance and professional repadding projects.
Oboe pads must fit their key cups correctly to create dependable seals over relatively small tone holes. Diameter, thickness, construction and installation method can all affect the completed repair.
Measure and Fit Oboe Pads Carefully
Remove the existing pad and adhesive before inspecting the key cup. Confirm that the cup is clean, level and round, then measure its internal diameter.
Dry fit the selected pad before adding adhesive. It should fill the key cup without gaps, wrinkles, bending or distortion. Because oboe keywork is delicate, final pad seating and adjustment should be completed using appropriate professional techniques.
