I got the original soprano key prop when Key Leaves first hit the market and have loved it. I'm excited to say this new version is even better! I did need to adjust the Eb prop quite a bit but the process was very simple and didn't take more than a few minutes. An improvement on an already stellar idea!!

I’ve had good experiences with the versions for my alto and tenor and when I started playing soprano, I wanted to continue to.Anything that has to do with a soprano sax in my area is nearly impossible to find in the local shops. Amazon saves the day!This is working as designed and I have no issues. Good quality.

I can't say that I'm too fond of this product. Although it's good to have those keys open as the sax dries, I do find this product hard to install. It's hard to get it to span the distance of the tone hole. It's also a tight fit as there isn't enough clearance between the raised pad and the lip of the tone hole. It can be difficult to remove which I fear may have the potential to rip the pad. I have since stopped using it as there are many professional saxophonists that don't even worry about swabbing their sax; much less keeping keys open.

Cannot get enough of this product. Super simple by design but so good for my sax. I keep looking at these and want to see them be made for bassoon as well. I just might have to make a version for them.

The Key Leaves for alto and tenor sax are great! However, this design for soprano sax is just too complicated and impractical. Unless you are extremely careful, you could damage your instrument. I don’t know why they just didn’t create a miniature version of the alto version. I returned this.

A great product, and very simple to use (as long as I remember to remove them before I start playing! ).

These little things are nice, they're nicer than the broken pencils I used to use. It just seems that I could get the same result from slicing up a cheap spatula.They're easy to place and remove and don't seem to be doing anything to the lacquer after a month.
