Contra Alto Clarinet Pads??

I have a complete working Slmr/Bndy Contra Alto
And I have 1 without a neck, bell or Any pads.

Is there a place for pad sets?
Am I to get them individually?
Mix Bass Clarinet and Baritone Pads?

As I said I have a working one
Am I to Measure them accordingly?


Most of them seem to be brown leather
Are they Sax Pads?

My BC is in the shop, so I dusted off the Contra Alto to practice the BC parts on. It hasn't had much play time since I received it from the tech a couple of years ago.

It's playing - fine - but it occurred to me, how do you hold it? I will need to play it on a bar stool, if I want to place it on the floor.

This is the best option in my opinion, but it might look odd if I was sitting above everyone else in the band on a bar stool.

I put a strap on it and the keys push against me, hand placement seems wrong... I play it to the side like a Bari Sax.
 
With a descent chair it sits on the ground
Just as my Bass with a Peg

So need to tilt it away and bottom under me sometimes
But putting something under my ass works

It's Really Not That Heavy
And I don't think I've ever seen one with a Peg?

I guess a Long Peg if ur standing up

The Leblanc Paperclip is the hard one for me
It has to go in-between ur legs On The Chair With Me

And the mouthpiece angle is Ridiculous!!
