Best Woodwind Instrument Reeds
This reed is designed to produce a quality of extremely pure sound due to a very thin reed tip (the area of reed with maximum vibration), being balanced by a solid vertebral column (more cane in the area which climbs gradually to the heel). Traditional reeds are known for their excellent response in all registers, allowing a pianissimo attack in even highest notes.

"I have been using the Jazzlab Saxholder for about a month now, and it is a much better way for me to be able to play for extended periods of time."
"It also takes the weight from your mouthpiece and thumb rest, which you will be using,even if you dont realise it."
"I've been playing saxophone for close to 20 years and this is the most comfortable strap (harness?)."
"I bought one for my daughter and the arms of the harness adjust nicely to fit comfortably to her small shoulders."
"Wearing a conventional strap became difficult, even with a wide, padded unit. A harness relieved the pain, but it really complicated choice of clothing and easily putting on the harness."
"ZERO stress on my neck; nough said."
"Ok and very comfortable but they have a tendency to suddenly slip off so I went back to a regular harness."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The neck strap it came with was too short so I had to make a cord that extended the attachment point just to use it. It is definitely easier to adjust than the cheap one that came with the sax, but I still find it difficult to make fine adjustments. I would recommend it for someone who is tall because it is long and comfortable."
"I needed a longer neck strap - bought the extra long version for my tenor."
"I like everything about this product."
"He is in hs marching, jazz, & concert bands & community bands, so he plays a lot."
"That strap was a string and a thin layer of fake leather with no padding, maybe as thick as your pinkie finger."
"The only issue that he had with it was that he said that the part that sits on your neck is a little too large for him but eventually he got use to the neck strap and we haven't had any other issues with it."
"She'd been complaining about the original strap being very uncomfortable and cutting into her neck when she marches."
"Also the clip gives peace of mind that it won't detach from instrument like some of those hook type."

"It's a success, hold my clarinet without damaging it or putting pressure on it."
