Marmaduke Feather Strap III GL – Ultimate Comfort & Stability for Saxophonists

The Marmaduke Feather Strap III GL is expertly designed to shift the weight of your saxophone from your neck to your shoulders, dramatically improving comfort and reducing strain. Building on the strengths of both the Feather III and Feather IV models, this version retains the soft, comfortable feel of the Feather III while offering enhanced stability.

A newly engineered, larger slider allows for quick and easy height adjustments while increasing the bar width for a better fit. The pure brass hook maximizes resonance, giving you a fuller, more responsive sound. Lightweight yet durable, the compact design fits neatly inside an alto sax bell for easy transport.

With adjustable aluminum bars, customizable side straps, and easy-to-adjust cords, the Feather Strap III GL adapts perfectly to your body—so you can focus entirely on your performance, free from neck pain and distraction.

Marmaduke Straps

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.
