The neck strap is the most overlooked ergonomic decision a saxophone player makes. Most players use whatever came with their instrument — a thin nylon strap with a cheap plastic hook — without ever questioning whether it is limiting their comfort, their breathing or their endurance. A poorly designed neck strap concentrates the full weight of the saxophone on one point at the back of the neck, creating tension that restricts breathing and causes fatigue that players attribute to long practice sessions rather than their equipment.

The right neck strap distributes weight properly, protects the neck, holds the instrument in a natural playing position and stays out of the way of the music. We carry neck straps from two of the most respected brands in the saxophone accessory world: BSS and Forestone.

A neck strap upgrade is one of the most cost-effective comfort improvements a saxophone player can make. The investment is modest. The difference in comfort, endurance and breathing freedom during long rehearsals and performances is immediate and significant.
