I've been a bari player for 30 years, and I've been looking for a harness that could take the weight off of my neck for the last 10 that looks good and functions as intended. I've tried everything out there, including some expensive gear from a New England sax shop that everyone recommended, but nothing seemed to fit what I was looking for, or make me look like I was wearing a bra. Being a "jump around on stage" kind of player like Leo P, I found out that this is the harness that he uses and I can't recommend this more. The band around the waist really distributes the weight of the sax to your mid section and really allows me full range of motion to get down on stage. I was experiencing lasting effects on my upper back, and after gigging last night for the 3rd time with this harness, I don't feel any of the pain I'd usually expect after a 4 hour set. This has saved my 40 something year old body. I never write reviews, but I feel like everyone should own this harness, especially bari players. It all folds down into a nice soft case that fits perfectly in to your bell. You can wear a shirt overtop no problem if you don't want people to see the bars in the back, which are on slides and moves as you move when you're playing. I can't say enough. This this is an answer to a prayer. Buy it.

I primarily play tenor and I have an eight-pound Taiwanese horn that's among the heaviest on the market and a seven-pound vintage horn that's among the lightest. The harness design redistributes the vast majority of the saxophone's weight into the rods that connect the shoulder straps and the waistband. While the rods push against your upper back, the level of discomfort on a scale of 1-10 is a 1. If you find your build is more sensitive to this contact, you can probably add a little padding to these parts without a lot of effort. I find the pressure of the rods helpful because it's a reminder to lean into them which helps you maintain your ideal posture. And that effort is well worth the return on investment, considering that most saxophonists will at some point deal with back and next pain if they are dedicated players well into adulthood. As a middle-aged player practicing 2-4 hours a day, every neck strap and harness I've tried led to some type of pain or stress on my neck, shoulders, upper and lower back--including the Jazz Lab Saxholder, the Balam backstrap from Boston Sax Shop, and Protec's harness. I never had back problems but after returning to the saxophone two years ago, it became an issue in recent weeks. While playing alto hasn't been a problem, I primarily focus on tenor and I was concerned whether I could sustain my desired practice habits. Protec's harness was manageable for my vintage horn, which is much lighter. Even so, it only warded off the pain for 60-90 minutes whereas I was always dealing with pain and with every other device. The Vandoren harness is, by far, the best of the bunch. The waist of the strap is easily adjustable and as long as you adjust it properly, I had no problem with this section remaining in place when I was standing or sitting. After just two long practice sessions, my back is feeling better and I'm confident that, with additional exercise/stretching, my recent issues will soon be a thing of the past. It's an expensive harness, but well worth it. I may buy 1-2 more just to make sure I always have one.

I resigned to myself that playing baritone saxophone was going to require more "physicality" than other instruments. I had been using a comfortable neck strap by Pro-Tec (LC305M); but after an hour of rehearsal with a couple more to go, my back and neck would be tired and sore. I have tried three other harnesses by various manufacturers and found them either uncomfortable, very restricting in movement, or difficult to adjust and setup. After six weeks of use, I find I really like Vandoren's harness design. It is comfortable, provides a lot more freedom of movement in getting the instrument in playing position compared to other harnesses, and renders my Martin bari almost weightless! We have three saxophonists in this house playing alto, tenor, and baritone sax. The altoist doesn't see the need for this contraption (or any other harness for that matter). The tenorist doesn't like it - specifically the waist strap. She thinks it ought to be wider or padded. On the baritone, I'm using it more often for the longer gigs and reserving the traditonal neckstrap for horn doubling. The V-thingie for adjusting the cord length is unusual but completely functional, and holds my sax the way I'm used to with the neckstrap. I would have preferred a spring-loaded clasp for the hook, but Vandoren's rubber coated swirly hook has not dropped my instrument and is easy enough to use. The Vandoren strap reminds me of a reverse drum harness. It is easy to adjust, setup, and customize. If neckstraps and "cross-your-heart" harnesses aren't cutting it, I would give Vandoren's strap or JAZZLAB's saXholder a try. UPDATE: been using harness for a year now - no issues, has held up nicely with no breakage. The altoist in my household has decided to use it now, so we've purchased another. Our altoist got into a bad habit of resting the sax upon the knees while playing to ease discomfort in the neck during long rehearsals. Said altoist is now holding the sax properly again with much greater comfort. And, it's worth mentioning that if the altoist didn't like it, Amazon would have accepted the return no questions asked! Second UPDATE: in second year of use and had to glue back on one of the foam rubber "weather-stripping" type pads on the shoulder piece. Not a big deal using rubber/contact cement that I had opened up anyway to glue corks back onto my bari keys. Some of the plastisol coating on the swirly hook has rubbed or worn off, but that's most likely accelerated wear due to the condition of the rings on my saxes - both old and rough.
