Neotech5401162 Tuba Harness,black

Worked well and is very comfortable. Good fit for me.

The harness is great. I’m not slim but not too strong and I’m average hight, it’s perfectly ajustable and suitable both for my Cc and F tubas. The only thing is it slides a little with the tuba’s weight and it takes a little time to take it off and put it back on again, but generally a very good product and a great solution for tubas which don’t have the little rings for normal harnesses.

I'm at an age where marching with a BBb Bass is getting harder and the cross back single strap isn't cutting it for me any more. I've heard great things about NeoTech harnesses so thought I would give it a go for Durham Miners Gala.Initially everything was great, the problem is that the strap loops on the Sovereign don;t really work with the harness, it seems better suited to looping round the bottom bow and I found the tuba kept slipping. The end result was. I ended up marching carrying the entire weight of the tuba on my hands with the harness doing nothing.I'm going to give it a go with the Yamaha Neo BBb Bass wheel out carolling this month and see if that works any better. I will update if I have more to say.

Fiddly, over complicated and overpriced. Took ages and lots of sweat to configure it for my small tuba but when i tried it with my full size BBb i gave up. Also once on it's impossible to leave it attached while you have a break and then try and get back into it. Slips after a while aswell so mouthpiece and music lyre get further away from your face and you end up trying to hold everything up. Very disappointed as i thought i might at last have the solution to aching shoulders. Half the price would have still been too much for this product.
