Experience 'weightless' playing with enhanced tone stability — no more discomfort from your current strap

Your current sax neck strap or the guitar/bass strap causes discomfort and distracts your focus away from the music? This happened to me, hence I made the first Desakre harnesses to solve my own problem playing the bass clarinet, bass, and guitar. After testing and improving it for over two years, I decided to also help others and founded Desakre (check the Story of Desakre to know why  the name Desakre is more about musicality than about harnesses).

Currently there are 2 models; one for wind instruments as sax and clarinets, the other one for guitar or bass.

1. Sax/clarinet harness: helps musicians playing heavy instruments like bariton sax or bass clarinet in a standing position, this harness transfers the weight from your neck to your trouser belt and hips, relieving strain on your neck and shoulders. Also players of lightweight instruments as the soprano clarinet will benefit relax thumb position preventing injuries. In both cases you will experience enhanced tone stability.
2. Guitar/bass harness: balances the weight of your instrument to relieve the constant asymmetrical pressure that a traditional strap causes on the shoulder. It also helps to keep the instrument in the desired position, e.g. anti neck-dive for neck heavy instruments as vintage (or history correct) instruments.

Key Benefits

• Eliminate back, neck and shoulder pain: Weight is carried by your hips in case of the sax/clarinet harness, balanced over both shoulders eliminating the asymmetric weight over one shoulder in case of the bass/guitar harness.
• Tone stability: Achieve enhanced tone stability and greater freedom of movement simultaneously
• Improve Posture: Enjoy a relaxed, evenly balanced body posture while playing
• Stay Focused: Forget about discomfort and focus 100% on your musicality
• Play Longer: Enjoy longer playing sessions as you focus on the music instead of on physical discomfort
• Timeless Design: Made from durable, premium vegetable-tanned leather that nicely shapes to your body over time

The Desakre harnesses are more than an accessory — all harnesses are handcrafted and rigorously tested with eye for detail. I didn't want the harnesses just to functionally nail it; I also want it to be beautiful, durable, and timeless. The idea is not that musicians replace the product every 5 years, but that the harness is there to stay as an extension of the personality of your instrument and the way you bond with it.
