Detail 01
Seat strap, not neck strap
Your own body weight anchors it. Nothing pulls on your neck, shoulders or back during long sessions.

BGBassoon Seat Strap
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A seat strap for seated bassoon playing. You sit on one end and the hook carries the instrument's weight instead of your right hand.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students and orchestra players who always perform sitting down
- Right hands that tire or cramp supporting the horn
- Rehearsals, lessons and pit work on standard chairs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standing performance; you need a neck strap or harness
- Stools, benches and chairs you perch on rather than sit flat
- Players who want the weight off their body entirely
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Hook attachment
Clips to the ring on the boot joint. The horn hangs from that point and pivots freely.
Detail 03
Adjustable strap length
Sets how high the bassoon sits. Small changes move your hand position noticeably, so dial it in carefully.
Detail 04
Bassoon-sized
Built for a bassoon's weight and balance point rather than a general-purpose instrument strap.
Detail 05
Sits under you on the chair
It moves when you move. Standing up mid-piece means the horn loses its support instantly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a flat chair seat you sit fully on, not a stool
- 02Set the length before you play; adjusting mid-piece is impractical
- 03Doesn't replace a hand crutch or balance hanger; those are separate purchases
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it fit any bassoon?
It attaches to the ring on the boot joint, which is standard on bassoons. If your instrument has no boot ring, you'll need one fitted by a repair tech.
02Seat strap or harness — which should I get?
Seat strap if you always play seated. It puts nothing on your body and is the standard choice in orchestras and bands. A harness is for standing, marching or moving.
03Will it slide on a slick chair?
You're sitting on it, so your weight holds it. Slippery plastic or vinyl chairs are the main problem spot; more of your leg on the strap helps.
04Can I still use my hand rest with it?
Yes. A seat strap takes the vertical weight; a crutch or hand rest handles balance and thumb position. Many players use both together.
