Dr. Lacy, recall from a previous post that I have performed these
instruments without straps because "I open my case to discover that my
neck strap was accidentally left at home, on the bed." I don't CHOOSE to
- I do so when I have to. Any person who enjoys such contortions is a
masochist.

Dan - don't go there! ^_^
