All of our saxophone key felts are die cut from the finest grade of felt available, woven from 100% wool. Unlike felt that is woven using a blend of wool and synthetics (such as rayon), felt made from 100% wool is more dense.
Density is an important factor in a saxophone felt because of the necessity for maintaining proper key adjustment. Less dense grades of felt are spongy and easily compress after a short time, which means keys can go out of adjustment soon after leaving the shop.
Technicians will also find that unlike synthetic blends that shred and tear, 100% wool felt is easier to cut and trim.
