Neotech use only the highest quality materials available to produce a wide variety of straps, pouches and other accessories for the music enthusiast. They incorporate several types of materials in there strap designs to give a truly unique feel and function. This allows them to maximize the combined benefits of the materials in order to increase the comfort level for the musician. Many of there straps incorporate neoprene, foam padding, elastic and Lycra binding to give a controlled-stretch effect which absorbs the shock of your movement while evenly distributing the weight over a larger area. This results in the instrument feeling up to 50% lighter and 100% more comfortable. There other designs incorporate leather, webbing or textiles with a layer of memory foam to give added cushion and comfort while still having the more traditional guitar strap appearance.
Neotech Saxophone Soft Harness
A saxophone harness that is not only functional but extremely comfortable! The patented weight reduction system of the Soft Harness™ uses neoprene reinforced with an elastic support system which carries the burden of a heavy instrument while enhancing the musician’s freedom of movement. Musicians no longer have to be restricted by confining harness designs. The Soft Harness™ is ideal for musicians in marching bands or individuals with back or neck problems. Available with our popular swivel hook or a nonmarring tubular nylon connection system that offers an alternative to a traditional hook attachment. The loop connector is extremely strong, yet easy on the instrument’s finish.
Hook | Appropriate For | Break Strength* |
---|---|---|
Swivel hook | The leading cause of hook breakage is when a hook lodges sideways against the instrument putting excess torque and pressure on it. Neotech’s updated Swivel Hook engages snugly on the instrument’s strap ring. It features an alignment pin in the snap mechanism for better rigidity and a molded “fin” that helps the hook remain in the proper vertical position. This design minimizes the chance of the hook becoming lodged sideways and keeps the weight and pressure on the hook in the proper playing position. | Hook breaks at about 125 pounds (56 kg). |
