“We have never been so happy before with a leak light! I love to work with it. I use it for general overhauls on saxes (kangaroo pads), flutes (w/ Straubinger pads), bass-, alto-, contra bass-and contra alto clarinets with all different kinds of leather. It works PERFECT on bassoons too! You should sell it to every pro shop! We bought 3 – one for each of our woodwind techs. You can`t believe how happy we are with these lights! They are so much better – now we can see EVERYTHING! They are super bright and we love the red color – much easier on our eyes.”

“I love the new machine the lowered noise is music to my ears, and it’s even quiet enough you can hear when a pad is hissing from a leak! I also love my piccolo leak light. His work is helping me elevate mine that much more.”
Lee Hirschmann, The Band Shop
“I really love working with the lights! Best I’ve used in 19 years of fixin’!”

“Wow, I just tried out Dave’s leak light. I totally love this light and find it INVALUABLE on all saxes, especially ones with black Roo pads. There is no leak light like it.

“I have found the red orange light to be easier to pin point leaks when using it in a bright workspace since you can differentiate between the white of the ambient light and the red of the leak light much easier.. I don’t have to use a curtain and keep switching off the lights anymore.”
Gerry Evoniuk, Desert Winds Music Inc. – Arizona..
“I really wanted this light, because I had the same one at my last job
in North Carolina and loved it.”
Chris Humphrey , Band Repair Tech.
“Just a quick line to say how impressed I am with the leak detector. I’ve been using it for a while now and it’s absolutely invaluable – I can’t imagine being without it!”
Many thanks again, and all the best,

“As soon as I saw the orange light I was sold by how much easier on the eyes it was. After getting back to the shop I found not only was that true, but its slim nature lends it to use in areas I had not used light before. It fit’s easily in flutes, clarinets, and down the topside of a bassoon boot joint! Looking forward to how this will improve my work! Great product!”

I work at San Diego Music Studio in San Marcos CA. We have been using these leak lights in all of our repair stations for the 15+ years that we have had our full time repair shop. We have tried many different kinds of lights but have yet to find anything with the same quality. Our lights are constantly being used and have been used for years with no problems. It wasn’t until recently that one gave in but the process to send them in for repairs was so quick and easy. The light alone works very very well but we use the on/off switch attachment which makes it even more convenient. The light is not too bright that it leaks thru the pad so identifying leaks is very easy. Their piccolo leak light is great for oboe as well! Needless to say, we will be continuing to use these products! I would love to say that we will be purchasing more but with how long they last, we will likely not have to do this unless we hire more repair techs. Thank you for the great product!
