Selmer Style Domed Metal Resonators

Selmer Style Domed Metal Resonators such as those first popularized on Selmer Paris Super-Action 80 Series horns.

These are also being seen on many “newcomer” model saxophones, including many Taiwanese and Chinese brands.

Flat Stainless Resonators

Flat Stainless Resonators are nickel plated.

These resonators can be used as a backup for when the diameter of the rivet is smaller than the pad hole.

Rivets are included.

Selmer Style Domed Plastic Resonators

These resonators are the brown plastic domed style you see on most production horns today. Very easy to install on a pad with a center hole.

Brass Snaps are included – simply press the snap in place to install.

Heat Staking Resonators

This brown Selmer-style resonator tapers to a clean edge.

We use these in all of our sax pads that come with plastic resonators.

No rivets or snaps included – use Heat Staking Tool #257008 to install.

The beauty of buying sax pads with only a center hole and then installing the resonator of your choice is the flexibility and economy that this approach offers.

You can accommodate special requests of customers and properly service a variety of brands without having to stock many different pads. It’s an additional benefit to have the predictable results of using one pad that you know and trust.

Ideally, you want to compare the resonator to the tone hole it is intended for. However, matching it to the pad size alone can get you close.
