Saxophone End Plug

When the saxophone goes in the case, the neck receiver is one of the most vulnerable spots on the instrument. Dust, debris, and moisture all find their way in, and over time that moisture accelerates pad wear at the top of the horn. An end plug is a simple fix — and the D'Addario version is the best one available.

Milled from hard rubber rather than cheap plastic, it fits snugly and securely in the receiver of most alto and tenor saxophones. The vented design is what sets it apart: instead of sealing the horn completely and trapping moisture inside, it allows airflow that helps the instrument dry out properly between uses. That's better for your pads, better for the body of the horn, and better for the instrument long-term.

A small accessory that makes a real difference over the life of the instrument. Fits most alto and tenor saxophones.
