Professional Sax Player LOVES this product! May 07, 2009
By Heather
I did a lot of research into this Sax Strap because I wanted to purchase this for my picky boyfriend who is a professional musician. He has used the same strap for 15 years and it finally just broke. Silly thing but he was paralyzed with anxiety over the issue. What if there isn't a strap at all like the one he used in the past - how would he do this?
I found that the hook, the fastener and the padding were well recommended so I purchased this one. He LOVES IT! He actually complained it was making him sad that he had to switch away from this strap when playing his Alto/Tenor Sax - so I bought one for the Alto/Tenor(s) as well! All three horns are delighted - as is the musician. No more complaining!

 great strap, worth buying Jul 27, 2011
By cactus54
The strap feels great around the neck. It's smooth and, so far, hasn't had a problem with soaking up sweat (though, I can't say for certain about that second part). In terms of how this strap affects the instrument's performance, I'm glad to say that it can go tight enough to get the sax in the optimal playing position. In the past I've had problems with straps being too loose a fit, causing the sax to hang too low while I was playing, and stifling out the sound. With the strap tighter, and the sax in a higher position, my sound has become more open and full.
The length of the strap also tends to stay constant. That is, it doesn't loosen too much while you're playing. That said, this property of the strap makes adjusting the length somewhat difficult.
One issue that I have with the strap is that it hooks onto the sax rather than clips onto the sax. This means that there is a greater chance of the instrument getting jostled loose (or whatever) and falling out the player's hands. It hasn't happened yet with this particular strap, but in my experience straps with hooks tend to have a looser grip that straps with clip-ends.

My neck says thank-you! Apr 03, 2011
By Alicja K. Lanfear
This is an amazingly comfortable strap. I read the overwhelmingly positive reviews here before purchase, but I was still pleasantly surprised at how good this strap is when it arrived. It is so comfortable that at times I even forget that I have my saxophone with me... definitely a hazard :)
Purchase this, you won't be sorry you did!

Must Have Mar 06, 2011
By Mark
A must have if you will be playing you sax more then 15 minutes. The padded neck strap takes the pressure off of the neck making it easier to play for a longer period of time.

Comfortable and easy to adjust Jan 30, 2011
By Edward F. Shimkus
Straps come in all sorts of designs which I boil down to materials, ergonomics, and adjustments. The Rico uses a chamois/velvet-like material against the neck or shirt depending on one's dress. This material is both soft, to avoid chaffing, and slip resistant. The inner layer consists of about a one-half inch of foam padding which cushions and spreads the weight of the instrument over a large area, i.e., it does not dig into the neck. The outer layer is a vented nylon mesh that allows the neck strap to breath. From the neck strap extends a singular, small nylon cord on each side. I particularly like this design because often, instrument straps continue unchanged from the neck to the hook with the same thickness/width of material - which I find too bulky. Where the Rico especially shines is its length-adjusting system. Most straps (instrument, camera, backpack, binocular, etc.) adjust their length by threading the strap through a series of buckles/clasps; there simply is no quick adjusting. The Rico, however, employs a pulley-like system that shortens or lengthens the strap by sliding the adjusting disc (for lack of a better word) up or down; it's that simple. So, you want to fine tune the length, a slight pull up or down on the disc while you are "wearing" the instrument and you're set. I especially like this feature because, although there is a defined, set position of the MPc (mouthpiece) relative to the mouth, assuming a given posture, I sometimes have the need to slightly raise or lower the instrument, e.g., when I am sitting v. standing. All things considered: a terrific strap.
