Before starting let me clarify two things: 1. This is the first time I write a review and 2. Nothing I say here is intended to validate or invalidate what has been said in other reviews.

POSITIVES: The materials appear to be of good quality and it appears solid and reliable, aesthetically pleasing as well. The locking mechanism even if awkward may work. Need more testing.

NEGATIVES: I have to say first that before I have used a “Cebulla”, “Just Joe’s” a “Jazzlab saXholder” and a Chinese contraption for which I paid £8 which I thought were trying to copy the Jazzlab but simplifying. The Chinese has been my favorite strap for about a year and I thought my search was over, then I accidentally found the "Balam" and thought "This is what the Chinese were copying!" It turns out that the Balam has non-contortable edges that the Chinese (of definitely inferior materials) does not have, the Balam is difficult and complicated to adjust (not like the Chinese). The Balam has these back adjustment hooks that I can feel on my back. The Balam has a hook to hold the saxophone that appears to be unusually small and you cannot simply “put”, it needs to be maneuvered and it is impossible to put without dragging with some force through the sax ring :(

Finally the locking mechanism, the biggest reason (excuse?) To let go of £80, is difficult to put on and almost impossible to take off with the saxophone hanging in the perfect spot!

In summary I would not recommend this strap, defenely not at this price poit anyway. One star for the concept and another for the materials and nothing else.
