You can leave it in after cleaning ... - It fits my alto sax perfectly. I have heard differing points of view about these and the conclusion I have come to is - clean your sax after every use, including the mouth piece. Tip out the excess moisture, use the Pull-Through then place the Pad Saver inside. It is not meant to clean the sax. That's my understanding after much research. I decided to buy this after a professional player, who also repairs saxophones, recommended them. You can leave it in after cleaning or not.

I deleted all the other products that I had in the basket that I could get elswhere but failed in the short term to find alternative supplier for the product so kept it (it was priced with postage included anyway). I have now resolved to look for all future requirements from other than Amazon until they stop the disgusting habit of duping people into signing up to Prime. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48213097-hw-alto-pad-saver](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48213097-hw-alto-pad-saver) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
