The Jazzlab SAXHOLDER-PRO is a superb alternative to traditional saxophone neck straps and builds on the huge success of the original SAXHOLDER model. The patented three-point support system eliminates all stress from your neck and transfers the weight of the instrument across the shoulders and to the stomach. This makes the instrument feel lighter and allows you to play for longer periods of time without worry of neck strain or back ache.
To use, simply swing both the shoulder handles up until they click into place, pull out the telescopic slide and rotate the abdominal rest and you are ready to attach your instrument.
The holder provides great comfort for the player when in a seated or standing playing position and does not slip like regular straps can be prone to doing. The length of the stomach support can be adjusted and locked into position, and the cord adjustment feature locks to keep your ideal comfort settings. The pads which sit on the players shoulder have also been designed to be large enough to help to spread the weight of the instrument even more.
SAXHOLDER-PRO is great for all sizes of saxophone from soprano to baritone, as well as bass clarinet and bassoon and is supplied with extra string in case of damage and a pull tie cloth bag for safe storage. It is suitable for children from 12 years old.
The SAXHOLDER-PRO is made from aluminium to keep it light, kelvar for extreme durability and features a strong regatta cord with a breaking load of 250kg, and a stainless steel hook with plastic coating. The SAXHOLDER-PRO features removable arms for compact storage and is designed to be folded away and neatly placed in the bell of the sax.
"The saXholder finally brings the best of two worlds together, the freedom of movement from a neck strap with the weight distribution of a harness and it looks good when you are wearing it."
- Chico Freeman, saxophonist, composer and producer
"For me, the SAXHOLDER takes away all the pressure of the saxophone on my body. This is a phenomenon!"
- George Garzone, saxophonist and jazz educator, Berklee
"This amazing engineered SAXHOLDER device works better than any harness I have tried. The horn feels like it’s floating, very comfortable, natural and easy to use. Besides making the saxophone feel light as a feather, the saXholder has other positive side effects, including better posture and diaphragm breathing."
- Bob Sheppard, saxophonist

Having seen a few sax players using the Jazzlab, I thought I’d give one a go. Really happy with the level of comfort it provides on both my Alto and Tenor, when sitting and standing. It was easy to adjust the cord length to get a shorter sling for my Alto and the abdominal support is adjustable too. It does take the pressure and ache off your neck. Having tested it in a three hour rehearsal, you can still of course feel the instrument’s weight, but its distribution is much improved. The Jazzlab stays in place and the sax is safely secured by a hook attachment. I bought the Standard Size but there is an Extra Large size too. Would highly recommend.
Arrived fast. Good quality. And well packaged.
Arrived quickly and great ordering process
Would recommend
this is a really good bit of kit for helping support the weight of saxaphones across the shoulders
Good product
Already have an older model of this which is very good, but the adjustments of this are definitely superior. Much easier to use.
Good device . Takes a little getting used to
Takes the strain off your neck
A tool that every sax player must have. It takes the weight of the sax from the neck and it's comfortable to use.
Very innovative product
I find this a helpful and more comfortable way of supporting my saxophones - soprano, alto and tenor. The harness is robustly made. It takes a little effort to get it adjusted to one's own body shape; adjustment is clearly explained in the enclosed leaflet and there is also a video on YouTube. After only two weeks of use I can't imagine ever going back to a sling round my neck!
Good value, great service
