How Key Props work
The Key Leaves Key Props work with any model of alto, tenor, baritone, or bass saxophone. The leaf-shaped props gently wedge underneath the Eb and C# key arms without bending them, allowing the leather on Eb, C#, and G# pads to air dry. And if the connecting band doesn't reach both keys? Simply remove the props from the band and use them individually. Key Leaves are safe for all finishes and are ideal for daily care and long-term storage.


Key Leaves: inspiring better care for woodwind instruments
While growing up fixing horns at his local music store, Key Leaves founder Rulon Brown came across the same issues over and over again. As a professional saxophonist himself, he grew tired of the same sticky keys plaguing players with costly and unnecessary repairs. To help resolve these issues, he created Key Leaves, a line of woodwind care products that create a natural solution to sticky pads and other repair issues. And as many of our Sweetwater saxophonists can attest, the results speak for themselves. An ever-growing list of teachers, students, and professional musicians are thrilled with how Key Leaves extend the life of their beloved instruments and keep them playing longer.
