Stay Prepared on the Field

The BandTool BT-1 multi-tool from Gemini Brass & Woodwinds packs in a solution for just about any band instrument emergency you’ll come across backstage or on the field — and it’s far more than a tuning key! Functioning as a pair of toothed and bladed jaw pliers, the BT-1 makes it easy to jolt loose those stuck bolts, return bent keys to normal, adjust mouthpieces, or effortlessly cut wire when needed. Trim up unkempt and frayed instruments, previous quick fixes, and uniform details with a built-in file and knife blade. A trio of spring tools allows you to adjust woodwind springs back into place, while a pair of jeweller-grade screwdrivers makes adjusting woodwind keys, chinrests, and like-sized screws a breeze when you’re in a pinch. An adapter and a set of 12 larger screwdriver bits are ready to accommodate virtually any screw at hand. Need more muscle? The BT-1 comes with a wood-handled rawhide mallet for loosening stuck mouthpieces, encouraging stubborn components. To boot, the BT-1 multi-tool packs into its own dedicated pouch that travels snugly alongside the mallet and bit accessories within a larger zipping travel bag.
