Neotech's accordion harnesses are comprised of two neoprene straps offering a patented internal control-stretch system for enhanced comfort and mobility. This unique weight reduction system effectively disperses the weight and absorbs the shock of your movements. The straps attach easily to the top of the accordion using 3/4" (1,9cm) webbing and at the bottom with convenient and secure Neo-Loops. Neotech’s accordion harness series transform the accordion into a joy to play, not a burden!
The original Accordion Harness is ideal for small to medium sized accordions. The shoulder pads have a non-skid surface and measure approximately 16.5" (41,9cm) long and taper in width from 3 to 2 inches (7,6cm to 5,1cm). A unique back strap is also included in the original Accordion Harness which is adjustable from 4"–14" (10,1–35,6 cm). It quickly joins the two straps together with a quick disconnect for ease of use and helps to maintain the proper playing position.
The Mega Accordion Harness is a good option for heavier accordions where a longer and wider shoulder pad is desired. The shoulder pads are 2.75" wide by 21" long (7cm wide x 53,3cm long). The non-skid surface on these larger pads effectively grips to the back and shoulders so there’s no need for a back strap.
The Deluxe Accordion Harness is another great option for heavier accordions where slightly less stretch is preferred. It is available in two sizes: Regular [pad size 2.25" wide by 20" long (5,7cm wide x 50,8cm long)] and Junior [pad size 2" wide x 9" long (5,1cm wide x 22,9cm long)]. Its innovative design combines a padded foam core, neoprene and heavy elastic for a truly unique feel. This stylish design incorporates a fully adjustable back strap that can be moved up and down the pad as well as adjusted across the back. The back strap is adjustable from 4"–13" (10,1cm–33cm). This special feature gives the Deluxe Accordion Harness a tailored look and fit.

Bretelles ajustables et confortables. L’attache qui relie les deux bretelles étaient beaucoup trop grande pour mon dos. J’ai dû la faire raccourcir.

The straps seem quite well made and are simple to install on the accordion. They were adequate for my 72 bass Hohner, but probably would not have suited a larger accordion (and they are advertised as "small to medium" so I am happy with that). I found them comfortable when used with the back strap done up, but they were difficult to get into unassisted and they tended to grip and twist on clothing when one attempted to slip them on. When some leather straps arrived that I also ordered about the same time as these ones, I swapped them and have found them easier to put on and more practical for me. I realize that we are all different and others do get on well with the Neotech.

I have quite a cheap accordion and the straps that came with it were pretty rubbish. These straps make the whole thing feel so much more comfortable I am much more likely to play more and maybe even upgrade. The back strap is great - just put your head through it when you put your arms through the straps like wearing a t-shirt - don't try and clip it in on your own. Or get someone to clip them in for you. I wish I had bought these years ago.

This was the only harness I could find that was sized small enough for a child, and it's probably the only one we'll ever need. My son started accordion lessons a year and a half ago at age 8, and he feels very secure with this harness, especially since it has a back clip.

So out of the box they work well. But as a cheap ass, I wanted something flexible that I could move from one accordion to another. I purchased the "DeLuxe" version, because I deserve it. The connection to the "top" or chin side is made by a fussy, strappy strap that the connections is like first world-war combat gear or modern women's shoes. To improve this connection and make it more user friendly, I purchased https://www.amazon.com/review/create-review/?ie=UTF8&channel=glance-detail&asin=B001LUR9OS; Plastic Lobster Clasp Strap Swivel Rotary Buckle Hook for Travel Sport Bag Backpack, Pack 20 (3/4 inch) Q018. I threaded the clasps through the webbing for the chin side and now I have a connection that is easy to remove and will not mar the finish of my accordion. While these clasps won't hold a small child or dog when summiting K2, they will support the weight of an accordion as long as you keep your pint off the bellows. To make the straps even more functional and useable amonst my vast collection of accordions (2); I purchased additional https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043WO6O2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1; Neotech Neo-Loops (5001322),black. This precludes the need to purchase additional complete strap systems and allow the easy transfer of the harness to other accordions. All in all, the strap is a decent product and an option to using the leather straps that (some) accordions come with. However it is true that we have no bananas. Good luck and happy squeezing.

I haven't had it for a very long time, so I'm still a little worried that the plastic might end up breaking under the weight of my full-size accordion, but so far, so good, no signs of weakness. It's a bit difficult to don the accordion if the back strap is already clipped, and it's difficult to clip if the straps are donned without buckling it first. That said, the straps are very comfortable, and I'm very happy with them. I'll probably buy another pair down the road for my other accordion.

Sí es cómodo. Aún así me roza el cuello, pero tengo piel sensible. La entrega fue sin problemas.

perfect for my 120 bass ladies accordion. I found that the normal sized deluxe straps too long and lots of overhang for my 5`2" frame. The slight stretch makes them very comfortable.Will buy again if I wear these out!

The accordion straps are easy to adjust and are very comfortable. You could say that Neotech helped to improve my playing ability. They are so comfortable that I practice longer and therefore play a little better. Now if the rate of improvement continues my wife may not make me play in the garage. It took a bit to find a way to quickly release the back strap since it is not readily accessible. My wife joked that she might have to help me put it on and take it off. I quickly realized that the quick release on the lower end of the shoulder harness could be easily released making it easy to slip out from under the right strap. Putting it back on was just as easy.I would have preferred leather straps but the ones that the Neotech replaced were leather and broke unexpectedly, not good. They were worn but appeared to be in good shape but they broke. Strong and dependable beat looks any day in my book and the Neotech are not bad looking anyway.I was a little apprehensive when I read the description of the product but the features and price persuaded me to give Neotech a try. The product exceeded my expectations and I would definitely buy them again.I would recommend them to a friend, even a good friend.

Just received and hooked up the harness onto my accordion, a five-row Saltarelle Chaville, which is a small accordion. Usage will tell if the harness deserves the five stars. At this time, this is what I can say: it is easy to install with a system that will not damage my accordion and very adjustable (I am a 5' 1'' petite). The shoulder straps are greatly adjustable in length and so is the back strap. Once the initial length adjustments are made on the shoulder straps, it is very easy to refine or modify the adjustments by lifting the buckles to lengthen the straps or pulling on the straps to shorten them, while you are playing. No need to undo buckles. To "take off" the accordion, I open the back-strap buckle. I find the buckles a little hard to separate (open), which is pretty common for this type of buckles. The harness does have a smell to it, as do many synthetic materials. It is not my favorite smell and I hope it will go away. Usage will tell if the harness is comfortable after hours of playing.

I play accordion on the street, standing for hours with a heavy accordion. In the past, I used these , which are decent, but tend to slide away from the center of my back over time. The Neotech harness takes care of that, because of the added back-strap that holds the shoulder straps in place.One piece of information in the description wasn't clear to me: "two Neo-Loops at the bottom." It turns out that a "Neo-Loop" is a loop of nylon webbing with one gender of a plastic buckle attached. You put the loops on your accordion's bottom strap clip, and from then on, you can clip your straps into them easily. So, when putting the instrument on or taking it off, you have the option of using the clip on the back-strap and leaving the "Neo-Loops" connected, or vice versa. Useful if the clip on the back-strap is hard to reach.The vertical position of the back-strap is adjustable, which also wasn't clear in the description.Best straps I've ever used.
