I liked this harness, but you can only use it if you're wearing a belt to anchor the back of the harness. It has very good padding and is comfortable, but it cannot be worn with most band uniforms. The hook is sturdy and easily fastened.

My nephew is in high school marching band and was in need of a strap to help him with his instrument. The concept looked good on the advertisement, but in use, it was a bit more of a hassle than helpful. During marching band practice, this was a great tool as he always used a belt with his clothes. When it came time for him to practice with his marching uniform....with no belt loops and a jacket...the harness was very ineffective. We had to quickly come up with a belt wrapped around his ribs to help hold up the harness. It did not work too well because the straps can only be made so short. We will have to come up with something else to get this to work with his marching uniform. The harness does work as shown in the pictures, so I can't really complain about that, but for using while in uniform... not work too good.

I needed a strap for my alto, and I grabbed this without thinking too much about it. I didn't realize that it clips onto your belt in the back, which is super awkward, especially for a smaller horn. Maybe if I had a bari or bass, this would be better than the standard neck strap to keep the weight off my neck, but it's overkill for the standard saxes in my opinion.

I got this for a friend who plays alto and tenor. He said it works great-- it takes the weight well and feels good. Those are the important parts. Less important but worth mentioning, is that he said it takes longer to set up than a normal strap, because you have to attach the back of it to the back of your pants. And that was something he wasn't super thrilled with from a fashion standpoint (he's 17 and plays semi-professionally in a jazz fusion band), though he did say that he'll definitely use it in the recording studio. It also might not work well with some marching band uniforms.

肩掛けタイプのサックスストラップです。アルトサックスで試してみました。ベルトが無いと装着できませんが、腰と肩で重さを受け止めるため安定感はかなりあります。肩パッドはさほど厚くは無いですが、クッションがしっかり入って悪くない感じです。ストラップの長さもバックルで調整可能。±5cmくらいですが十分でした。背のマジックテープも締め上げれば、さらに5cmくらい短く出来ます。ちなみに身長180cmでジャストサイズくらいでした。参考までに。普段使ってる首掛け型と感覚が違うので慣れは必要ですが、使用感は良い製品だと思います。ベルト、もしくはベルトループが必要なのだけがやはり難点ですね。

This saxophone harness has great padding on the shoulders, a sturdy metal clasp and will definitely take the pressure away from the neck making it much more comfortable. However. I didn't realize that the harness secures with velcro to your belt. Who wears a belt? Certainly not my 13 year old kid. And hardly ever a girl. And it seems insecure to have a heavy tenor sax being completely supported by strips of velcro going around a belt. It would make me too nervous to use even if my kid ever did wear a belt. If the velcro comes loose the whole apparatus, sax and all, is hitting the ground. We all know that after some time, velcro gets less grippy as it's covered with dirt and fuzz and strings. The only instance that makes some sense to me is if there's a band uniform being worn that includes a belt. But this still doesn't solve the precarious support issue. I feel like this is not a good design and it is not going to be of any use to us.

We ordered this for our son who plays bassoon and needed a harness/neck strap at the time. This does the job but it’s a bit awkwardly designed. You MUST use a belt if you’re going to use this as the bottom two Velcro straps will loop around the belt. This will help carry the weight of the instrument, however it’s a bit awkward in a strap design. Think of it as suspenders for men. So being said that, If you’re a female performing in a dress, or Male in a suit, you would not be able to use this strap. The male performer would have to wear the strap under his coat. I’m not too thrilled about it, BUT it DOES work well. Maybe if the Velcro would connect to the front of the strap almost like a backpack style strap? I guess you will either love it or hate it.

Really the only downside to this harness is that you pretty much must be wearing a belt, and for preference, a belt in a pair of jeans or slacks. I'll have to try it with a tightly cinched belt with a skirt od dress some time (I don't dress up very often, so, it's going to require more energy than I have at the moment!) to see how that works. I will update this review after though.Anyway, this is comparable to the jazzlab sax holder, which has much more rigid arms than these, which I'd compare to a nicely padded gym bag strap (in terms of how it feels when wearing it, I mean!) I find this a LOT more comfortable than any neck strap I've ever tried with my Selmer tenor. I find the neck strap is fine for my alto so I didn't bother trying it, but I see no reason why this wouldn't work with an alto sax either, it just might not be necessary unless you have really, really bad back problems.All in all, if you can be bothered to wear a belt, and remember to spread the back suspender straps decently far apart so you don't give yourself a wedgie, I think this is a good alternative to the Sax Holder harness. Caveat: I don't own a bari sax to try. Those bad boys are still just a bit out of my price range, no matter how cool Lisa Simpson makes them look.
