Slings/Neotech
Straps
After many, many years of using ropes masquerading as straps which left my neck suffering from Chinese burns, one of the Blowout Sax students returned from the US with one of these Neotech straps.
I got hold of one and no longer did my neck and shoulders look red, rashy and as though I had just come from an S and M session!
You do have to get over the feeling of thrusting your sax outwards and it springing away from you, and it getting a little clammy when you are sweating on stage, but that aside, the soft, elasticated strap really does take about fifty per cent of the weight of the instrument away.
Try to have a hook which has a swivel on it so the Sax feels very secure.
The use of cheap and nasty straps often ends in tears; I've seen plastic
hooks snap and the Saxs attached to them crash to the ground to the stunned
disbelief and horror of both student and teacher.
Make it easy on yourself. Buy a Neotech strap. These are standard wear at The Blowout Sax School.
Just tell us what colour you'd like…
Black
Red
Navy blue
Royal blue
Wine
Forest green.
The choice is yours and Blowout Sax promises you will not regret it.
