This just shows you how personal a thing like straps are It's a personal thing I'm delighted with my Neotech straps Fits most accordions I find them quite comfortable---but probably the best thing about them is that the material they're made of prevents them from slipping around on my shoulders, like leather straps often do Rating 4 I think it's just a great design 2009-04-01 Plus, these are professional-quality, wide accordion straps that are at least HALF as expensive as leather straps this size I would say that this harness is good, because it does support the weight well however, if you are small like me (woman 5'3) it is loose Good, Not Great I think they could have made it to be a little more petite friendly! Fits most accordions Rating 3 I tried this Neotech strap along with the Neotech Mega Accordion Harness, Black Not comfortable, difficult to fit I found the Mega strap to be extremely comfortable, but this one to be very uncomfortable Fits most accordions The contoured design did not seem to fit my body shape Rating 1 Build quality and materials seem very good, though 2007-10-30 Thus the reason for 2 stars The Neotech Accorsion Harness Strap uses 2 uniquely curved straps with Neotech's internal control-stretch system Fits most accordions Bound edges provide the ultimate in comfort.
