Description
The Trevor James Crook Bung for Alto Sax is a simple, dependable way to protect your saxophone’s neck between playing sessions. Designed to sit snugly in the crook, this small accessory keeps dust and debris out of the bore and helps shield the delicate octave key area from accidental knocks while you move the instrument or pack it away. It is a sensible addition for beginner and intermediate players who are building good care habits, and just as handy for advanced musicians who want quick, reliable protection on the go. Whether your crook travels in a school case, a gig bag or a home drawer, the bung makes day to day handling safer.
Made from soft yet resilient silicone, the Trevor James bung forms a gentle push fit that will not mark lacquer or compress cork, and it stays put without rattling. The profile is carefully sized for modern alto crooks, with a small lip that makes removal easy even with cold hands. Compared with basic foam plugs or hard plastic stoppers often bundled with entry level kits, this bung offers a more secure seal, better durability and a more refined finish. It is washable, odour free and tough enough to cope with regular lessons and rehearsals, so you can rely on it to do its job term after term.
Perfect for UK tuition and school use, the crook bung streamlines the pack down routine after practice, ensemble rehearsal and peripatetic lessons. It encourages students to store the neck safely away from the body and keeps stray fluff out until the next session, which helps reduce the need for remedial cleaning. Teachers appreciate how quickly it fits and removes, saving time at the end of class, while the robust design stands up well in busy storerooms and on coach journeys to concerts and exams. It is a small, low cost accessory that protects a valuable part of the saxophone, making it excellent value for families, schools and rental fleets.
