The Dual Shoulder Advantage

The Slider Strap distributes the weight of a musical instrument evenly across the back and shoulders while providing optimum balance and support.

The Slider Strap utilizes ergonomic design. By distributing an instrument's weight over both the musician's shoulders and the back, the Slider Strap effectively reduces weight on any one particular point of the body by two thirds. Weight is transferred 1/3 over each shoulder and 1/3 across the back. This removes wear and tear from body parts which are more susceptible to injury, and evenly distributes it to areas of the body which are better designed to resist injury caused by strain and weight.

The illustrations to the right show more benefits of the Slider Strap. >>

With a typical neck strap, weight is focused on an area which is sensitive to pressure and vulnerable to injury. Posture is often negatively affected as well.
Weight over one shoulder contributes to poor posture, which in turn can lead to Repetitive Strain and Repetitive Use injuries (RSI/RUI). The focus of weight on the shoulder may also pinch nerves, contributing to elbow and wrist pain.
The Slider Strap distributes weight evenly over both shoulders and across the back. Pain free, balanced support is achieved with the Slider Strap.

How it Works
The Slider Strap is unique in that it utilizes dual shoulder support with minimal restriction on the instrument's "anatomic" relation to the player. This means a musician can play comfortably and pain free without sacrificing adjustability.

This is achieved through the use of the patented "Floating Stress Continuum." See it in action in the demonstration to the right. >>
