Questions & Answers

Can it be used on bass clarinets as well? Do you mind if I say thank ?

A bass clarinet would not be able to work with the piece. It is really necessary to adjust the saxophone strap to the correct length for bass clarinet.

My strap is too long so I cannot shorten it. Is it possible to get directions from someone?

Have you noticed that the straps are My favorite part of the Rico neck strap is the adjustable clasp.

How does this work for an alto saxophone?

For something as short as that, it wouldn't be appropriate.

The thumb cushion can be used in conjunction with the neckstrap, right?

My favourite ridenour cushion is the one with the strap and the straps The cushion and the television cannot be played without them I had a hard time getting used to it, but, now I am a pro. As long as I double on sax &amp guitar, I keep the strap on There is also a solution for this. I wish you the best of of strap, but I don't like it as much as Rico does. A hook is placed around the middle joint and attached to a flange at the end. Rico offers the option to adjust three settings, but I always head back to it).

Selected User Reviews For Rico Clarinet Strap with Thumb Tab

Thanks to this fantastic little invention, I was able to play again after surgery
5/5

Since I had LRTI thumb reconstruction surgery 7 months ago, I have been unable to stretch far enough to play the right-handed guitar. Even after extensive rehab, my attachments have not returned to normal, so I haven't been able to play the right-handed guitar. The keys are accessible with my thumb under the thumb rest. (If I reach the keys with my index finger, it falls out of clarinet teacher friend recommended the strap, and it works wonders. It works for me to rest my thumb on top of the thumb rest, and I can anchor my thumb under the coated hook above the leather tab (not really the intention, but it works for me) and have the pad of my thumb rest gently against the soft leather to prevent my thumb By wearing the strap, I am able to easily reach everything since most of the weight is held by the clarinet. Initially, I wasn't happy with the pressure on my neck sides, but I have grown accustomed to it now The part that expands when I play is something I hadn't noticed before. Free of charge. When I was small, I would have loved to have one of these There may have been a delay in arthritis and tendonitis due to it! My first jazz gig since the surgery was just a few weeks ago -

We have been celebrating Mardi Gras for two and a half hours!.

A good way to prevent muscle spasms and pain
5/5

It was a really good neckstrap and I found it to be pretty helpful. As a rookie in college, I started playing in the 5th grade and by the 7th grade, my right thumb developed a weird spasm that still occurs after I play almost every time. Due to the weight of the entire instrument resting on just one joint of your thumb, this could very well be a sign of nerve damage or dystonia (muscle spasms). In the end, they recommended a neckstrap and it has helped with the thumb issue for the most part! I would recommend a neckstrap to clarinetists of all levels, especially younger students, to prevent any future thumb problems!.

This is a nice neck strap, but it's too long to fit a clarinet player of short height
3/5

The strap looks great and I would have given it a higher rating if it weren't too long for this 5'4" clarinetist. In principle, I could adjust the strap to fit my height, but I cannot with the long thumb tab which connects the strap to the thumb rest. I am going to make a ring for the thumb rest to see if I can then adjust the strap to fit my height.

This strap is awesome
5/5

My thumb is affected by joint problems, and so whenever I play the clarinet for more than 30 minutes, it starts hurting pretty badly. The strain of playing a concert all night So far, this has worked well for me and I haven't tried anything else. Perhaps there are better straps out there, but I haven't tried them. My ridenour thumb saddle is placed over it so it can't slip off when I attack it. With that gear, I can play for hours without pain since it provides just enough support to keep my thumb from aching. I can't set up my instrument without it. Although it isn't necessary for everyone, I have found it to be a great help to me.

Playing causes me to feel quite strong shooting pains in my wrist
5/5

It causes me some pretty strong shooting pains in my wrist when I play clarinet. Using this strap has entirely eliminated my pain and allowed me to play even longer without discomfort. It positions the clarinet at just the right angle so that the angle at which it meets the embouchure is what it should be, unlike other straps that are bouncy. There are products that I dislike because of the elastic straps Very nice strap. I love it!.

It is recommended
5/5

I prefer using this clarinet strap because it is well made and convenient to use. Although it is too long, I would like to point out that it should be shorter The shortest setting is still too short A kid younger than 11 or 12 must have parental consent. In order for his mouthpiece to reach his throat, I had to shorten the wide neck strap so that the adjustable string part would hold it high enough. Hand-sewing a tuck into the wide strap at top was the method I used to create this effect. Using a sewing machine, I sewed across the width of the strap so that now there is a 2 inch loop at the back of the strap. His satisfaction with the product is high.

My son is in the 5th grade
5/5

This is another great Rico product. We had to have a neck strap for him and also had an old clarinet that required thumb tabs on the tabs. Rico had one, and I was very happy to discover it. It is a pleasure to work with Rico. A great combination of quality and price. My teenage daughter can also fit into it, and that adjusts perfectly for him.

The product works well, is well constructed, and is well designed
5/5

The clarinet strap was exactly what I wanted. Designed to hold securely and comfortably The height and width can be changed. A soft leather tab secures the strap to the clarinet thumb The sleeves can be easily put on and removed. I really appreciate what you found and what you bought. It allows you to focus on playing the clarinet by relieving the weight of your hands on In a marching band, it can be very helpful for holding the clarinet in place while practicing and playing. But it's also a great accessory for practicing and playing generally.
