BGAlto Sax Shoulder Strap
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Shoulder strap for alto sax. The simplest way to hang the horn, sized and weighted for alto rather than heavier saxes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Alto players in school band, lessons or short rehearsals
- Anyone replacing a worn stock strap that came with the horn
- Players who want to clip on and off fast between pieces
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Tenor and bari players, this is sized for alto weight
- Players already dealing with neck pain, get a harness
- Long standing gigs where the neck load builds up

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on a tenor?
It is built for alto. A tenor's extra weight sits on your neck harder and the length range may run short. For tenor, look at a yoke or harness instead.
02How do I set the length?
Stand or sit as you normally play, then adjust until the mouthpiece meets your mouth with your head level and your neck straight. Do not lean down to the horn.
03Is this better than the strap that came with my sax?
Usually yes on padding and hardware quality. It still puts the weight on your neck, so it is a comfort upgrade, not a change in how the load is carried.
04How does it attach to the saxophone?
It clips to the strap ring on the back of the horn. Check that your ring size matches the hook before ordering, since ring sizes vary by maker.
