Rico Padgard, Alto Saxophone
The Rico Padgard is a pad saver or pad guard, which is a common accessory for woodwind instruments. It is typically made from a soft, absorbent material that is inserted into the saxophone when it is not in use. The padgard absorbs moisture and helps to prevent it from accumulating on the saxophone pads, which can lead to damage or deterioration over time.
The Rico Padgard for Alto Saxophone is specifically tailored to fit the keys and tone holes of an alto saxophone. It is designed to cover the entire range of keys, from the low Bb to the high F#, as well as the palm keys and other touch points.
Using a padgard regularly can help prolong the life of the saxophone pads and maintain the instrument's performance quality. It is especially useful in preventing moisture buildup inside the saxophone during periods of inactivity or when storing the instrument.
Please note that the Rico Padgard for Alto Saxophone may have specific design features or materials unique to the Rico brand.
