I have a question for the professionals that play alto ,Has there ever been a time you played with a neckstrap versus a floor peg and did you notice a difference in embouchure control? I have a good tone on alto but always struggle(squeeks) above high c being consistent playing up to high G above and I think its because of the neckstrap.I took my thumbrest off and installed an Etude with the strap hung from second strap position(upper).If I choke the strap up all the way and push the alto out a bit there's more pressure and stability for playing high notes but is uncomfortable for long periods unless I drop down to lower notes .I'm wondering if I should scrounge up a peg holder and peg somewhere and have it silver brazed onto my bell.There's and old video of me playing the Cantina song from Star Wars on youtube and a recent one playing Alto Clarinet Tango take a look give me your opinion.I play a Boosey &Hawkes 1-10 alto
