Re: [Sarrusophone] Playing harness for a Contrabass Sarrusophone? [3 Attachments]

Pierre,

Did the two top hooks engage the strap hooks?  If so, how was this accomplished, can they be turned?   Did the bottom arm go under the bow?

Hello Steve,
 
I also was unsuccessful in finding a comfortable strap arrangement for my Conn contrabass.  I made a stand and adapted it to a throne base.  I no longer have the instrument, but the stand is still here in the corner.  As you can see, the stand is completely adjustable for any size musician.

Subject: [Sarrusophone] Playing harness for a Contrabass Sarrusophone?

Curious what players are finding effective as playing harness for their Contrabass Sarrusophone?

Been trying different straps & harness, including combinations, without arriving at an acceptable setup.

The Contrabass is a Conn with the two neckstrap rings.

Thoughts, recommendations & pictures greatly appreciated!

Hello Jack, You're right! The top two prongs engage the strap-loop holes, and are bent slightly upward near their end in order to keep the instrument from...
