Suitable for men and women, available for oboe/d'Amore/English horn/basoon and Saxophone. Made of aluminum and fiber reinforced plastic, weighs just 6 ounces.

Albion Neck Saver Neck Strap
Exclusive! This versatile neck strap is designed to reduce neck and shoulder stress by distributing the weight of the instrument over a greater body contact area. The large, tailored neck pad is made of resilient, closed cell neoprene sponge, such as is used in scuba wet suits.
We have added a two-point strap adjustment to permit adjusting the length of the nylon straps without losing proper balance of the instrument. This new feature, and the metal hook which fits all wind instruments, makes the NeckSaver equally suitable for every woodwind instrument.
Concert black color.
