Saundra: This is a simple design, easy to slip on and off, and it saves my neck and back the weight of the sax. Yay

V B: I got this because a regular neck strap was giving me neck pain, and while my neck is now happy, my right thumb is not. Hanging on this harness (I guess on any harness, not just this one), the saxophone hang point is around mid-chest rather than at the neck level. Which means as you push the sax away from your body with your right thumb, the thumb gets a lot more downward load from the weight of the instrument than with a neck strap. So far I'm okay to trade off neck pain for some thumb discomfort, but I may have to go back to looking for other solutions.

Sylvie: My husband had been searching for a solid and comfortable harness to use for both his tenor and baritone saxophones. After several failed attempts, he bought this one and he was so happy that he bought a second one as a spare

Patricia M.: I did not dislike anything about my harness. I love how it has saved my back and allowed me to play more confidently and much better.

KDark: This was purchased for my ten year old daughter who plays alto sax. The harness is well thought-out it distributes the weight across the shoulders rather than on the neck. It's easy to put on and doesn't seem to twist or tangle like previous harnesses we've used. The dog lead style clip is metal but has a plastic sheath on so it holds the saxophone securely without scratching it. Certainly a better option than a neck strap for the younger player. Not the cheapest option on the market but it's well made and works well for my daughter.

Skip: Son needed harness for staring bari sax. Needed metal clasp for durability (he says, “I can get away with plastic clasp for tenor and alto, but wouldn’t trust it for bari.”). He’s 5’8 and this fits well for bari use. He says the pad is comfortable, and the weight of the bari is supported through the harness attachment on the back of the pad and through the cross chest strap, so the shoulder pads do not collapse around his neck cutting into it. (He had this problem with Neotech super harness). The bari attachment strap is connected to a chest cross strap and is not stationary and can slide side to side, so he can move the sax holding position from side holding (when sitting) and more front-holding while standing easily without the shoulder pad moving around or need to adjust the harness length. With other harness where the support strap is directly attached to the shoulder pads, to adjust the hold, he has to either readjust he harness length on one side or leave the length unchanged and allow the shoulder pad to slide lopsided to deal with the hold change, which resulted in crumpled shirt around his neck. This cross-brace design does not have this problem.

Gerald E.: I am in my mid sixties and recently started saxophone lessons. I could tell that the weight of the instrument hanging from a neck strap was not something I could grow old with. This harness is exactly what I needed - all the weight is shifted to the upper back which is oh so much more comfortable than the neck strap, and allows me to practice longer with no discomfort. I ordered a size small and it fits with room to spare for accommodating a larger person or a smaller person (I am 5'3", 115 lb, and rather small chested. I am not sure - maybe a large breasted woman might find the straps uncomfortable .) The plastic-coated snap for holding the instrument feels very secure and is easy to attach. After initially adjusting the harness correctly, I can take it off and on easily with the main latch...no need to readjust it for height or snugness each time it is used. I definitely recommend this harness.
