"OEM" Nickel-Silver or Brass Key Cups / Pad Cups for Woodwind Instruments

Finding no extant sources for pad cups for my own intruments, after much trial and error I invented some interesting tools and techniques to make nice brass ones. I'm offering them as "OEM" parts for other wind instrument makers. Prices are in Canadian dollars (currently .81 $US, .64 Euros, .44 GB Pounds and rising.)

Sizes are approximate and the units are not 100% uniform: partially "hand made". You can generally use the size of pad indicated with a bit of wiggle room, or .5mm larger with a tight fit.

~10.5mm, ~12mm (w. 12 & 12.5mm pads), ~14mm, ~17mm & ~20mm.

Pads are not included. (shown for illustration)

If you order 10 or more cups of a size not on the list, eg 11mm or 16mm, I'll make them, for the same price as the next size up on the list.

No charge for postal delivery on orders over $20. Under $20, please add $4 shipping. Sorry, I don't do VISA... please mail a cheque, (international) postal money order, $CDN or $US cash (no coins please. Cash won't be lost if it arrives here. So far I haven't had any trouble myself with any cash lost in the mail, but it's your risk and I suggest limiting cash to small orders.) Make cheques/checks payable to Craig Carmichael.
