Which BG accessories should I buy for a saxophone, clarinet or oboe?

Choose BG accessories by instrument and job: a strap or harness for support, a ligature for the appropriate mouthpiece, or a thumb-rest cushion for contact comfort. Check the fit before buying, particularly harness sizing and ligature compatibility.
For saxophone support, the BG ATB Saxophone Harness comes in a Ladies version with a metal hook and an XL Ladies version with a plastic snap hook, both listed from £39 new. Choose according to sizing and the attachment your instrument needs, rather than price alone.
For ligatures, the BG Tenor Saxophone Ligature Duo Metal Black Lacquered is listed from £145 new, while the BG Eb Clarinet Revelation Ligature starts at £40. These serve different instruments; confirm compatibility with your mouthpiece before ordering.
For oboe, the BG Oboe Zen Strap Nylon Non-Elastic is listed from £29 new. The BG Oboe and Clarinet Thumb Rest Cushion Regular starts at £4 and is worth considering if thumb-rest contact is your concern. A cushion and a strap address different needs, so start with what feels uncomfortable when you play.
