Overhauls

Flute and clarinets on average need to be repadded about every 5 years. Pads absorb moisture from your breath and break down and become water logged.

Saxophone pads last a little longer (being made of leather) and are more water resistant.

Some pads deteriorate quicker than others depending on their location on the instrument.
