"The Valentino Greenback pads that were put on my clarinet have transformed it. It has never played this way, even when it was new. I guess there have been leaks in it for years and I just got used to them. Thanks for providing us with such a fine product. I can only sing your praises."

Jim Gillespie, Regents Professor of Music
University of North Texas


"The Valentino Pad provides an airtight seal that results in a more resonant tone and quicker response which are necessities for playing challenging music."

Eiji Maruko, Former Principal Clarinet
Fresno Philharmonic Orchestra

"Recently, my band parents group bought me a Valentino Deluxe Repair Kit. We replaced a clarinet tenon cork right on the street just before the parade started. I have two students who help with installing clarinet pads - just peel and stick. We won't go on a band trip without your wonderful kit. Thanks for a great product."

Emilio Parenti, Band Director
Jefferson High School


"I replaced three tenon corks and six pads in less than 20 minutes during the first week of school. These pads and corks do exactly what they are supposed to do: get the horn back in the hands of the kids. Keep up the good work!"

James Kelso, Band Director

"...the pads are great and give a special feel to the keys that musicians seem to like. They are so consistent that you always know what the result will be."

François Kloc, Buffet Crampon Technician
Boosey & Hawkes Musical Instruments


"A professional pad unaffected by moisture and humidity that gives the musician the sound and feel they demand."

Gysgt Paul R. Bianchi, Department Head of Instrument Repair
Armed Forces School of Music, Norfolk, VA


"Valentino Pads seem to have all the advantages of cork without the disadvantages. My customers have sold many others on them and as a result I have a large number of professional artists who insist on getting the pads their friends have."
