Which mouthpiece cap fits my saxohone?

A good mouthpiece cap is essential for protecting your saxophone mouthpiece and reed. Whether you're looking for a cap for alto, tenor, soprano or baritone saxophone – the right choice keeps your reed in top condition and helps prevent damage.

Mouthpiece caps protect not only the mouthpiece and ligature but also help retain moisture in the reed so it doesn't dry out too quickly. Want to ensure a perfect fit? Choose a ligature that comes with a matching cap.

How to choose the right mouthpiece cap for your saxophone

Selecting a fitting saxophone mouthpiece cap depends on your instrument, mouthpiece, and ligature type. The right mouthpiece protector ensures optimal protection for your mouthpiece and reed.

Plastic vs. Metal Caps

Plastic mouthpiece caps are affordable, lightweight, and popular among all players. They provide excellent daily protection for a good price.
Metal mouthpiece caps offer superior durability and long-term value. While more expensive initially, they last longer than plastic caps.

Mouthpiece Compatibility

Mouthpiece covers for Ebonite mouthpieces are wider than for metal mouthpieces. The gap for the ligature is wider for fabric ligatures than for metal ligatures.

Universal vs Brand-Specific

Most mouthpiece caps are universal, but matching your ligature brand is best for proper fit. BG mouthpiece caps are renowned for universal compatibility across different ligature brands.

Browse below by instrument type (alto, tenor, baritone, soprano, sopranino), mouthpiece material (metal / ebonite), and ligature type (fabric / metal) to find your perfect match.
