I sit with a seat strap when I practice at home and when I play with orchestras, and stand with a harness when with my teacher, rehersing with an accompanist and when playing solos.
I’m from Iceland, and everbody uses a seat strap there (only about 10 bassoon players there, and I made the number even smaller =]), and very seldomly harnesses or neck straps.
I now am in Germany, and I’ve only seen people using harnesses here, sitting or standing.
I also noticed that the players of the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra all have German bells with a metal ring, whereas all players I’ve seen in Germany have ivory rings
In the USA, I noticed also that very many people have got the setup like in Iceland.
