Marmaduke is a Tokyo-based Japanese manufacturer renowned for its innovative saxophone and woodwind straps, particularly the acclaimed Feather Strap series. Founded in 2013 by designer Alex Miyatake, Marmaduke revolutionized traditional neck straps by introducing ergonomic shoulder and back support systems that significantly reduce neck strain and enhance playing comfort.

Marmaduke straps are distinguished by their use of high-quality materials, including pure brass hooks for optimal resonance and durable cords tested to withstand up to 200 kg of force. The designs prioritize both functionality and aesthetics, featuring adjustable aluminum bars and genuine leather construction.

Endorsed by prominent saxophonists such as Mark Turner, Ben Wendel, and Melissa Aldana, Marmaduke has established itself as a trusted name among professionals worldwide.
