The SAX-ON has a tripod
base which provides a stable, unattended stand when the instrument is not in
use. When tilted for playing it provides a bipod stand. A bipod stand provides
a stable platform along the line of the two legs on the floor and allows a
rotation or an arc perpendicular to it. |
|
| The SAX-ON has a cap with an arm which has
a hook on one end. Your saxophone is connected to the SAX-ON by the hook and
the neck strap ring. This allows the saxophone to swing on the arm as it would
when hanging from a neck strap. The cap rotates on the stand allowing front to
back motion. |

When using a SAX-ON
your saxophone is in the same position it would be if you were using a neck
strap; allowing the freedom of motion you expect when you play. The SAX-ON arm
rotates freely and the attachment to the neck strap ring on the instrument
gives a familiar feel but without the weight of the instrument on your right
hand, neck and shoulders. |
|
A SAX-ON eliminates the
need for a neck strap, thereby reducing neck and shoulder fatigue. It allows
younger, smaller players to play large instruments such as baritone and bass
saxophone as well as bass clarinet. A SAX-ON also older or injured players to
play large instruments. |
|
A SAX-ON also allows
players to double in a pit orchestra or band situation. |
|
SAX-ON allows you to
play while recovering from an injury. |
|
A SAX-ON allows longer,
more productive practice sessions with less fatigue. |
|
You can position a
SAX-ON so you can play from the front or the side, depending on your situation.
