Ever wished you didn`t have the weight of the instrument hanging around your neck?

Do you feel that a spike restricts you when you play?

Do you use a seat-strap but feel you have to still support the instrument with your left hand and wrist?

Here`s how it works...

The Counter-Balance Seat- Strap is made from extremely durable components, ensuring absolute security whilst playing.

With a conventional seat-strap the right thigh acts as a pivot-point as the bassoon rests against it. However, as the majority of the instruments weight is above this point, weight is placed on the left hand , arm, and wrist as the instrument falls to the left due to gravity (see arrow 2). The Counter-Balance Seat-Strap has an innovative elasticated section which simply fastens around the front right chair-leg creating an opposite force (see arrow 1), thus counteracting (arrow 3) the force of gravity.

Correct posture can be easily maintained, thus aiding younger players particularly.

The elasticated section is adjustable so that more or less weight may be alleviated from the left hand.

The left side of the strap is cleverly weighted to prevent it from slipping from the chair.
