What should I check before buying a Neotech instrument strap?

Check that the Neotech strap suits your instrument, fits comfortably and has the right attachment. These two options serve different jobs: one is a banjo strap, while the other is a regular sax strap with a swivel hook.

Start with the instrument, not the colour. The Neotech Super Banjo Strap Black is the banjo option here; the Neotech Soft Sax Strap Regular Swivel Hook Red is intended for saxophone. Don’t assume they’re interchangeable.

Before buying, check the adjustment range and how the strap connects to your instrument. For the sax strap, confirm that the swivel hook suits your attachment point; for the banjo strap, check the fitting instructions rather than guessing from the name.

Comfort matters over a full rehearsal, so try the strap with your instrument if possible. The supplied listings identify the intended instruments, but don’t give enough detail to judge padding, load capacity or long-term durability.
