 Re: Neckstraps are not necessarily helpful!

I've recently been playing it without the sling - too much hassle to hook it up in haste in pit band playing when doubling doesn't take that into account. But I definitely feel it after several minutes of playing although not immediately, but the following day when my wrist gets a twinge when I bend it in a specific way.

I remember watching a performance of 'The Planets' shown at the BBC Proms and the bass oboist wasn't using a sling or anything else I could see she was using to support the weight of that beast - it's pretty much like playing tenor sax without a sling.

I'm definitely going to have to invest in Fhreds/Bhobs for the future as that's a relatively small price to pay for physical comfort.
