Detail 01
Open hook
The horn drops on and off the ring fast. The tradeoff is that nothing locks it in place if the strap goes slack.

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
Regular length, 16-1/2 to 21 inches
Measured back of neck to hook. Fits most adults and older students in normal playing position.
Detail 03
Extra-long runs 21-1/2 to 26 inches
There is a small gap between the two sizes, so measure rather than guessing if you are near 21 inches.
Detail 04
D-shaped neck section
The strap follows the curve of the neck instead of lying flat, spreading pressure over more surface.
Detail 05
Wine red finish
Visible against concert blacks. Worth checking if your ensemble has a dress code.

Know before you order
- 01Open hooks can slip off the ring if the strap goes slack. Handle with care

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does open hook mean?
The hook is not closed or gated. You drop it onto the instrument's neck ring and lift it off directly, which is faster but less secure than a closed hook.
02Which size do I need?
Regular covers 16-1/2 to 21 inches from the back of the neck to the hook. Extra long covers 21-1/2 to 26 inches. Measure seated, in playing position.
03Is it safe with an expensive horn?
An open hook trades security for speed. If you set your instrument down often or move around a lot on stage, a closed hook is the safer choice.
04What color is it?
Wine, a red finish. This listing is the regular length version with the open hook.
