Your cart is empty.The sax practice harness offers an innovative solution for players who experience neck and shoulder fatigue during long practice sessions. Its unique design features a torso strap that is worn at the base of the rib cage and fastens with a quick disconnect buckle. This gives the player full air flow and control while offering a very secure yet mobile system to encourage freedom of movement. The two shoulder supports are made of a comfortable memory foam padding over customizable aluminum supports that bend to conform to the shape of your shoulders.

I love these harness. This is the fifth sax harness I bought and tried. It is great. Fits well. Hardly slips on your shoulders. It carries the weight of the horn and not your neck. I use it every day.

I got this product to reduce the neck pain I had from my vertical bass flute (caused by a traditional neck strap). It is bulky, but does the trick, as long as I maintain healthy posture. Not sure how I can travel with this in a smaller suitcase, however.

This is the most comfortable harness I’ve ever used. But I have 2 complaints: 1. It is difficult to shape to fit around my shoulders. 2. It’s too bulky to carry around. But then again, it IS called a practice harness. Other than that, it’s awesome!

I saw this at the NAMM show (trade show) and I thought it was cool. But when I tried it at home, I found that it is (1) Very bulky to carry around to gigs, as it contains stiff material that will not fit in a case; (2) The stiff parts that go over the shoulders need to be perfectly fitted to your body; this takes some work to get it exactly right. If you don't get it right, they will stick out awkwardly when you take the saxophone off. I think this might be good for someone who is playing only one heavy instrument, like a baritone or bass sax. But it does not work for me, as I double on many woodwind instruments.

I was also looking to Balam strap which also has hard curved straps on both sides of the neck therefore the weight is evenly distributed on these straps without using the neck area, although this one has the chest strap to take some of the load, rather than Balam that leaves 100 percent of the load on those two rigid curved straps which means you would feel more load on your shoulders. With this one, the load feels quite comfortable and manageable on the shoulders for tenor saxophone. The addition of the chest strap may seem less minimalistic compared to Balam strap (make it look more like the saxophone harness) but it is way better than saxophone harness because I can push on my right thumb and adjust the position of the saxophone vertically because it has a much greater range of motion rather than with a conventional harness you are stuck with the hook being attached to the centre of the strap so it barely has a range of motion. Plus, with the conventional harness, the shoulder strap part is not rigid, therefore you feel more weight on top of your shoulder, rather than with this one since the shoulder straps are rigid, the force shifts further back and more evenly along the bigger portion of the shoulder straps therefore you feel less weight overall and more comfortable to handle it in much longer playing sessions. I tried quite a few options and I think this one is the best I found to cater comfort and elevating stress on neck and even shoulder, have great range of motion to not compromise the performance, and simple enough (not like Vandoren Universal Harness that is a bit complicated but doesn't ease off the load as much as this one).

ひたすらラクです。外したら邪魔だとかありますが外さなきゃいいんです(笑)これはピッタリフィットしているのです装着していても不快感は0です。課題はひとつ。上手に身体に沿って曲げられかどうかです。きめ細かく調整して浮いているところを少しずつフィットさせていく、15分かけるつもりでゆっくりやれば、あとは最高のツールになります。

I've been playing the baritone sax for many years and the horn only seems to get heavier as I get older. This is the best strap/harness I've found. Unlike a sax harness, this strap/harness allows the instrument to be positioned in a nature position as if you were using a regular sax strap around your neck. The weight is distributed with wide well designed strap resting on each shoulder, While it is true that the strap/harness does not fit easily in a case, I simply position the strap on top of the horn so I can close the case without any issues. I consider this a minor issue to deal with and trade off is a great strap that will save your neck and allow you to play the horn in a very, very natural playing position. It works well for me and it just might be the strap for you too.

この製品の特徴としては、肩で支えつつ、サックスを動かせる自由度がある所です。別に意図して振り回しているわけでは無いですが、体を動かしつつ、リズムに乗って遊ぶ余裕があります。肩のパッドは中にアルミ板か何かが入っていて、自分で手で曲げて方の形に調整します。なので、比較的自分の体系にフィットさせ易いです。値段はちょっと高めな気もしますが、他の商品にはない特徴は十分評価できます。

Hey,This is my second try for the Neotech harness for my Cannonball alto, which is pretty heavy even though I'm a strong guy. I had to sell the first harness cause it claimed alto/tenor, was too long for the comfortable also position and I'd have to duck to even reach the mouthpiece, it won't go any higher. Might be OK for tenor.This one is perfect for my alto off the bet. I literally can't feel the sax weight, it doesn't mess with my breath at all and I can even raise the sax higher than needed. Great one. Recommended for a heavier soprano, altos or tenors alike.
