5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Play Without it!, August 24, 2007

This review is from: Claricord Clarinet Neck Strap

My thumb hurt on my right hand so I decided to get this strap.

It just slides on nicely using the slot it has. It is fully adjustable and is pretty sturdy for elastic. It isn't flimsy which is what I wanted. It helps alleviate the weight on my thumb so I don't feel as tired when I play for a long time.

This is great for those who march! It was perfect for the Rose Parade because I was marching for a long time and there are a lot of people around. There have been times when people have bumped me hard and if it wasn't for that strap...my clarinet would have been a goner! (On the floor!)

It comes off the thumb-rest just as easily as it is placed on. Other than the snickers I get from the sax players, I don't mind wearing it. (Some forget and think that I am a sax player sometimes.)

It doesn't interfere with play and it's light. And it's black so it blends in nicely during concerts.

I recommend the strap to my fellow clarinet players all the time. They like it a lot.

I'm a little disappointed with this necks trap, because it's too short. Not by much.. maybe half an inch too short. I can't adjust it to get my Yamaha YCL-250 into a correct, comfortable position. I'm six foot tall, average. Perhaps this neck strap is designed for younger/smaller clarinet players.

This review is from: Claricord Clarinet Neck Strap

I ordered the Claricord in the hope that it would help me resume playing my clarinet after surgery for Dupuytren's contracture. My right hand was weak,and, and even though my fingers were working well, the weight of the clarinet was making it difficult to play for any length of time. My husband helped me devise a neck strap (based on the picture of the Claricord), and that convinced me that a neck strap would solve my problem. The Claricord came within days, and really made a difference in my ability to play comfortably.
