1. MusicMedic Double-Sided Spring Hook in Case Small Tip

Best for access on smaller instruments

The Small Tip version is designed to reach between keys and the body of smaller instruments, including flutes, soprano and sopranino saxophones, piccolos, and oboes.

Each end has a groove for pushing needle springs into place and a hook for pulling springs onto their cradles. This is a spring hook, not a needle-spring replacement set or complete woodwind repair kit.

Before ordering, confirm the Small Tip is designed to reach between the keys and body of your instrument.

2. Jiayouy Woodwind Spring Hook

Best for engaging woodwind key springs

The Jiayouy Woodwind Spring Hook has a slender shaft with a red central grip, and its hooked tip engages woodwind key springs. It is a spring hook, not a needle-spring replacement set or complete woodwind repair kit.
