Hi folks, I’ve been playing sax professionally for 37yrs, last few years have been rough due to compressed 5th/6th vertebrae causing pain in neck but also down left arm with horrible sensation in little finger 🙁 hence I’ve been trawling thru different slings,straps, harnesses and stands. At the moment I use a SaxLab Saxholder for my Alto playing while sitting during my day job (military band) and for my gigging on tenor I’m am now using a SaxRax SaxStick Standing stand, I’ve moved to this from a Hercules Grabber Standing Sax Stand. I find the SaxStick better for gigging as it allows more movement on stage!
I’m very lucky in that my day job pays for physiotherapy once a week so that really gets me thru
