End Cap for Saxophone
End Cap for Saxophone
Protect your saxophone octave lever from damage with a beautiful, solid wood end cap. Some neck plugs are made with corks in order to fit them to the neck, but when cork grease is added, it attracts dust and potentially abrasive particles to this very critical point in your saxophones air column. Wood & Winds neck plugs are extremely versatile and go in your neck tenon dry. No shaping or special fitting necessary.
Please let me know the make and model of your saxophone when ordering. I am a full-time saxophone repairman who has access to a lot of measurements that I have accumulated over the years.

High marks for quality, value, form, and performance. If you are using a cheap plastic end cap on your saxophone, do yourself a favor and purchase one of these well designed wooden end caps.
Function: 5/5 stars. The end cap performs as expected.
Form: 0/5 stars. The maple end cap is unfinished, raw wood, and does not resemble the advertised photo of the product.
Bottom Line: 2.5/5stars. The end cap is not worth the price, but I am going to keep it and finish it myself with a mahogany wood stain.
I just recently purchased a machine set of palm key risers, side key risers, and neck plug in the purple heart wood. They are being put on my alto saxophone as we speak and I can’t wait to see them attached. Each item is beautifully crafted and I will definitely be buying a set for my tenor saxophone as well. Thanks, Michael!
I recently purchased an ebony thumb rest and neck plug from Wood & Winds.
The thumb rest makes my horn much more comfortable to play, and looks great. The neck plug also works very well, and looks great as well.
Communications were great, and Mike was a pleasure to do business with.
I ordered two items. A snakewood end plug and a snakewood thumb rest for my bari sax. Both fit perfectly and look amazing. If you give Mike good measurements he will work wonders. I highly recommend his work.
