Neotech s new Brass Sling offers extra support for many tubas baritones euphoniums and other brass instruments which relieves the all-too-common shoulder and arm fatigue. The Brass Sling s patented design supports the weight of the instrument by combining neoprene with an internal control-stretch system to effectively distribute the weight over a larger area. This system reduces the felt-weight of the instrument by up to 50% making practicing or performing for extended periods of time much more comfortable. It also pulls pressure away from the lips as there s no longer the need to use the lips as a balancing point. The nonskid surface on the back of the strap means it stays firmly in place and won t slip while performing. As the instrument is now comfortable to carry there s no need to set it on the ground in between sets so it doesn t matter what conditions you are playing in¦be it a beautiful concert hall or roaming the streets at a music festival. When an extra hand is needed the Brass Sling is just the thing. The Brass Sling features Neo-Loop Connectors that fasten to the instrument s strap rings or around the instrument s tubing. The Neo-Loop Connectors are comprised of a sturdy quick release buckle with a loop of 3/8 webbing for a convenient and secure connection. Once attached to the instrument simply snap the quick disconnects to the strap and it s time to play. Give the Brass Sling a try and start enjoying the comfort and convenience . . . you ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
