In-depth review

A classic harness that spreads the weight of the bassoon across the shoulders and back, taking the load off the neck. The six adjustment points let you set the instrument at the right height, and the buckle is easy to adjust.

It is commonly recommended to students at elementary and intermediate level for its quality and value for money. It is worth selecting the correct size when buying.
