Reddit reviews Yamaha YAC-1094P Powder Paper for wind & woodwind musical instruments

I prefer to use Yamaha powder paper. It's got a fine dust that covers the stickiness: https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-YAC-1112P_144068-YAC-1094P-Powder-Paper/dp/B0002F58SM

There are this things called powder paper. It's a thin pice of paper with a layer of powder on it. You put it between the key and the Sax, close the key and pull it out. It really helps and is cheap.

clean the tonehole with naptha, change the pad. buy some yamaha powder paper and use it when you need to- shouldn't be much. if you are still having problems, take it to a different shop and try again.

Spring tension can sometimes overcome sticky pads, but pads shouldn't stick.

This is great. But I don't understand why the video is so long.

1. Don't eat sugary foods before you play. If you do, wash your mouth out. Or wait 1-2 hours.
   
   
2. Fix sticky keys with ONLY with powder paper or cigarette paper. like this Yamaha brand here
   
   
3. When using the paper. DON'T PRESS AND PULL with the paper between the hole and the key. You'll destroy your pads super fast.
   
   And I'll add, use your cleaning swab after every practice and don't leave it in the flute while stored in the case. I've seen younger flutists do this.

Don't use papers, get a hold of the green Yamaha powdered paper.

A little goes a long way and I've never had issues with dust, but meanwhile it keeps my pads very clean. I especially value them for my saxophone which has some very large, very sticky proned pads that this paper fixes in 5 seconds flat.

I use the paper along with a silver polish cloth, as part of my bi-monthly maintenance.
