Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine the correct oboe pad size?

Measure the internal diameter of the clean key cup with a digital caliper. Confirm the required pad thickness and dry fit the pad before installation.

Do all oboes use the same pad sizes?

No. Pad sizes can vary by manufacturer, model, key cup and previous repair history. Measure the individual instrument for the most reliable fit.

Can I replace only one oboe pad?

Yes, if the remaining pads are still serviceable. The instrument should be evaluated to determine whether an isolated replacement or more extensive work is needed.

About The Collection

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.
