Allied Music SupplyDouble Spring Hook Tool
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A double-ended spring hook for pulling and seating woodwind and brass needle springs. Repair-bench tool for techs and players who do their own regulation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Reseating flute or clarinet needle springs after a key sticks
- Bench repair work on sax and oboe key mechanisms
- Techs who want push and pull hooks in one handle
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who never open their instrument's key mechanism
- Guitar or drum work — this is a woodwind/brass tool
- Anyone needing a full repair kit rather than one tool
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Hook tool, not a pick
The formed hook grabs the spring shaft without slipping, so you're less likely to gouge the pad or lacquer.
Detail 03
Spring-specific design
Sized for needle springs, not flat springs. Flat spring work needs a screwdriver instead.
Detail 04
Under $20
Cheap enough to keep in a gig bag as backup rather than only on the bench.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is one tool, not a repair kit. Screwdrivers and pad tools sold separately.
- 02No case or roll included. Store it so the hook tip doesn't bend.
- 03Springs snap under tension. Work slowly or you'll bend the spring itself.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What instruments is this for?
Woodwinds and brass with needle springs — flute, clarinet, oboe, saxophone. Any instrument where key springs seat into a cradle on the key arm.
02Can I fix a sticking key with this?
If the cause is a spring that jumped its cradle, yes. If the pad is swollen, torn, or misseated, this tool won't help.
03Is this for flat springs too?
No. It's shaped for needle springs. Flat springs mount with a screw and need a screwdriver.
04Do I need repair experience?
Basic mechanical comfort helps. Reseating a jumped spring is simple; adjusting spring tension without over-bending takes practice.
