i don't agree. sit with good posture. that would help with that aching
neck and back. why would there be clarinet neck straps if they didn't
work? i do agree, however that neckstraps do not work for EVERYONE, but
it doesn't hurt to try. they are not That expensive, and if you don't
like them, you can always sell them to someone who'll appreciate them.
