Oleg Ergonomic neckstrap

[badreed]

Does anyone use this strap and do you like it? Thanks!

Use one on alto. Works good. The adjuster piece is a bit gaudy(sp?).
He's also got one for bari that has straps in back to attach to a belt. Haven't tried one of those.

I used to play the Oleg strap, but it is so large on the back of my neck it made me sweat, so I tried the Oleg Harness and I really like it for both Alto and Tenor.

I have just about all the neckstraps out there and keep going back to the Oleg. At first I wasn't sure how comfortable it was and it seemed as though some of the others felt better for a short period of time. The Oleg just causes less stress to my neck, I also think the leather is breaking in making it even better. I use it for tenor.

The Oleg definitely gets better over time. It needs breaking in like a good pair of shoes. It's a great strap, but not a hip looking as the DeJacques.

I switched to the Oleg after experiencing neck pain from my old strap. I haven't tried Crescent or others in the same price range, but the Oleg has been a great strap for me and my tenor.

Takes a while to "break-in"--the leather will gradually shape to provide a comfortable fit-at first the ends where the nylon attaches tend to dig-in a bit. About the time you recover from the shock of the high :) pricetag, it will get better.
