Music gear accessories: cables, cases, stands and spare parts

Music accessories are everything around your main gear: cables, cases, straps, stands, pedals, headphones, drum hardware, studio tools and more. They’re the details that turn a basic setup into something reliable, comfortable and ready for any situation: rehearsal room, live stage, studio or bedroom practice.

On Muviber you can find new and used accessories for guitars, basses, drums, keyboards, horns, strings, vocals and recording. From a single jack cable to a complete pedalboard, from guitar cases to studio accessories.

What are music accessories and why they matter

“Accessories” are everything that is not your main instrument, but makes it:

• more protected (bags, gigbags, hard cases, flight cases);
• more playable (straps, footrests, sticks, picks, stands);
• more reliable (good cables, power supplies, solid hardware);
• easier to organise and transport (bags, organizers, pedalboards).

For a guitar player, a good strap and a well-wired pedalboard can be as important as the guitar itself. For a drummer, the right drum accessories (pedals, stands, hardware) completely change the feel of the kit.

Main types of music accessories

Guitar and bass accessories

Typical items include:

• comfortable, adjustable straps;
• picks and pick holders;
• guitar cases and hard cases;
• floor or wall stands;
• guitar accessories and bass accessories (bridges, tuners, nuts, etc.);
• pedalboards, power supplies and patch cables.

If you run multiple pedals, check pedalboards with integrated power and smart cable routing to avoid hums and messy setups.

Keyboard, synth and digital piano accessories

For keyboard players and synth lovers, the most common accessories are:

• X-stands or column stands;
• sustain and expression pedals;
• padded gigbags;
• multi-tier stands for complex live rigs.

When you look for keyboard accessories, always check weight and size of your instrument to choose a stable, safe stand.

Drum and percussion accessories

In the drum universe you’ll find:

• cymbal stands, snare stands, hi-hat stands;
• single and double pedals;
• practice pads, mute pads and dampening systems;
• ergonomic drum thrones.

In the drum accessories category you’ll see lots of hardware also on the used market: great way to upgrade your kit without breaking the bank.

Accessories for horns, strings and vocals

This includes:

• reeds, mouthpieces, oils, cork grease;
• rosin, shoulder rests and mutes for strings;
• mic stands, pop filters, tablet and sheet stands.

A solid sheet music stand and a stable mic stand are basic tools you’ll keep for years.

Accessories for practice and recording

Finally, there are all the accessories that boost your daily practice:

• metronomes;
• tuners;
• studio headphones;
• acoustic treatment and monitor stands.

If you’re building a home studio, the studio accessories category will help you complete your setup.

How to choose the right accessories for your rig

When you evaluate an accessory, think about:

1. Your main instrument Start from what you actually play the most: guitar, bass, drums, keys, vocals… Accessories should improve that experience first.

2. Real-world use

   • Practicing at home
   • Rehearsal room and small gigs
   • Touring and travelling If you move a lot, prioritize hard cases, flight cases and super reliable cables.

3. Your level and needs Beginners can start with a few essentials, pros usually need tougher and more specialised gear.

4. Build quality Cables, stands and hardware are exactly where “buy once, cry once” makes sense.

5. Compatibility Double-check dimensions, connectors, mounting systems, length and weight limits.

Price ranges: entry, mid and pro

We can roughly split accessories into three ranges:

Entry level

• Affordable but functional.
• Perfect for beginners, schools and light use.
• Examples: basic cables, lightweight stands, simple straps.

Mid range

• Best value for money.
• Stronger materials, better comfort and reliability.
• Great for regular rehearsals and small gigs.

Pro level

• Built for touring and daily use.
• Super solid stands, custom flight cases, high-end cables and hardware.
• It’s an investment in reliability and peace of mind.

On Muviber you can filter between new and used accessories, often finding pro gear at the price of new entry-level models.

Frequently asked questions about music accessories

Which accessories are essential when you start playing?

You usually need:

• a bag or case to protect your instrument;
• at least one good cable (for amplified instruments);
• a tuner;
• a metronome (physical or app);
• for guitar/bass: pick and strap;

How much should I spend on accessories?

As a rough guideline, dedicating around 10–20% of your total budget to accessories is reasonable. With a mid-range instrument, it’s worth investing in solid cables, cases and stands: they protect your gear and last for years.

Is it better to buy accessories new or used?

It depends:

• New: great for consumables (cheap cables, reeds, sticks, picks) and personal items.
• Used: perfect for cases, stands, drum hardware, pedalboards and many studio tools, where build quality matters more than age.

On Muviber you can quickly compare new and used listings in the same search.
