The Saxtech sling is designed with the musician in mind, the weight reducing effect of the foam makes the device feel lighter, making the playback easier. The strap is equipped with a spring-loaded swivel hook that ensures maximum safety while still easily operated by young hands, unlike open hooks. The 360 degree swivel allows full freedom of movement.
Originally developed for saxophone many tutors now also use the Saxtech sling with clarinets and oboes.
