RE: Bass Clarinet Neck Strap

I also use Don's "belt and suspenders" method except I take it one step further--I use two separate neckstraps. This way I figure if one breaks while I'm standing up the other will keep the horn from falling (it's highly unlikely that both straps would break simultaneously). And I keep the straps on while sitting. Also it seems that I'm in the minority around here (maybe a minority of one) in that I position my bass on my right side like a sax. When playing while standing the horn seems to naturally position itself to my right (again like a sax) so I simply let it stay in this one position whether I'm sitting or standing. This also has the advantage of keeping the crook out of the way of the line of sight to the music stand.
