Straubinger Pads:
• Designed specifically for handmade flutes.
• The design of the pad ensures that it is virtually impervious to changes in temperature and humidity that cause felt pads to expand or contract.
• Straubinger pads also have an extremely firm and flat surface. This creates a more precise seal, resulting in increased resonance and clarity of sound.
• The highest quality pad on the market today, Straubinger pads are the perfect match for the highest quality flute.
