#WednesdayWisdom Live: How To Measure A Pad Cup

Here’s a list of all the MusicMedic products used in this video!

Pad Cup & Tone Hole Pliers

These simple but effective pliers make quick work of repairing or rounding tone holes and pad cups. The unique angle on the front of the plier allows you to get into tight spaces when a pad cup or small tone hole rim is bent down. The flat and round jaws of the plier are buffed smooth to work without marring the pad cup or tone hole of any brass bodied instrument. Learn more & order today!
