I bought this strap a few years ago hoping it would be a good alternative to the neoprene straps made by Neotech and Pro Tec. Here are my thoughts:
Pros-
1. The strap is very easy to adjust and doesn't get tangled or twisted since it uses strings instead of a webbing material.
2. I bought the Soprano/Alto length, but can easily use it with both my alto and tenor saxes no problem. (I'm an average 5 ft. 7 in. adult. This may not be the case with everyone)
3. The strap is sturdy and solid. When the sax is clipped on, it's not going anywhere, unless you remove it. There's no give or stretchiness to it at all.
So are there any cons? Well this strap is made from a memory foam material as opposed to neoprene or leather, so it didn't initially feel as comfortable as my other straps I have as those generally conform to the shape your neck while playing. This means that it definitely feels different than other "padded" straps made from Neotech or Pro Tec etc. So at the end of the day, it comes down to which material you think is more comfortable. Personally, I find the neoprene and leather neck straps more comfortable, but you may feel differently. One last thing, I was surprised at how big this strap was. It's almost as big as the Neotech Soft Sax Strap. So would I buy it again? Probably not due to my personal taste in the way the material feels on my neck, but that doesn't mean it's not a great strap. If you don't like the way neoprene feels on your neck, this is definitely worth checking out.
