BestSounds Rinastore Saxophone Strap Genuine Leather Sax Neck Strap with Soft Thick Pad for Soprano Tenor Alto Sax and Clarinets Oboes1

This is my go to neck strap for all of my gigs. I have one of the other expensive straps, but this one is really the most bang for the buck. I also use it for my alto and but mainly tenor sax.

My original alto sax strap was a bargain bin type with a plastic snap. The snap slipped off the saxophone twice.This strap is a major upgrade. It has a metal adjuster that the straps go through and more importantly, the snap is metal.It feels comfortable, is easy to adjust, and it secures the saxophone very well. No complaints here!

Just the right amount of width and padding to take the edge off wearing a neck strap for tenor sax.

I had a cheaper strap but decided to get this one. It makes it nicer to play my instrument. It's pretty easy to adjust just how you want it, and really takes the weight off your hands.

I have owned them all - single neck strap,harness, Saxholder. None of them are as comfortable and secure as this one After 12 years on tenor the ultimate test is can I play for 2+ hours and not have neck pain or discomfort. The first time I tried this it met the test. I like it so much I ordered another for a spare. Slider is easy to adjust and stays put an I move around a lot while I am playing. Cushion on the hook is MOLDED ON and will likely not wear through with regular use.

Got several renowned straps - all are quite OK, but this one turned out to be (playing an EWI5000) definitely above the rest as for design and quality- it got a soft leather feel, very comfortable to wear and good weight distribution due to side padding (leaving my shaky C4 and C5 alone), very easy and quick to adjust, doesn't slip even a fraction and also looks great.Also I won't use a more expensive one with an open hook anymore - detached a few times when bending down or moving around, had to catch the EWI pretty presto, this strap's closed swivel hook design is safer.

This is a very good strap, which in some ways, rivals my $70 Boston Sax Shop strap, which is my all time favorite. The neck leather is nearly comparable, and the hardware actually exceeds the BSax strap slightly. I love the hook, which has a nylon(?) end to keep from wearing out the ring, which was happening quite rapidly to my P Mauriat tenor, causing me to modify the BSAX strap. (The BSax strap had shrink wrap on the hook, which only lasted a few gigs.) The BIG difference is that the BSax strap is made with parachute rip cord. I have no doubt it will last me the rest of my playing years, (I'm 66), and it is the only strap I have ever owned that does not require constant re-upping of the strap over the course of the night. I did a gig last night with this Rinastore strap, and sure enough, I found myself constantly adjusting, all night long. And the cord looks like the type of stuff you get these days on work boots, which definitely wears out, and is a bit stretchy, which does not work for a sax strap, in my opinion. If you are a pro player, spend the extra bucks on the Boston Sax Shop strap. If you don't mind constantly re-upping the strap, then I would give it 4 stars.

My son had a protec before this that was similar in design, but was hard to slide. This one slides really easily, and I love that you can buy replacement parts for it. I am hoping the clip coating will stay on, we had to get rid of the protec because the cord was fraying and the hook had the coating come off and we didn't want to damage his horn. Also happy with the padding on the neck.
