I bought this strap with the intention of making my sax setup look a bit more professional. It has far surpassed my expectations, with the levels of comfort being outstanding compared to other straps I have owned. It also looks as good as you expect it to from the pictures, with well made metal fittings and lovely leather parts. It is not a cheap strap, but is one that is well worth the investment if you want the best strap on the market. Would also make a lovely gift!
