At Musikmesse Frankfurt Codera will show Bungee neckstraps which are ergonomically designed to comfort saxophone and clarinet players. Standard neckstraps are adjustable to a  fixed length. Moving the instrument from the upright position alters the mouthpiece position the player is used to and occasionally cause squeaking to noises or even hurt lips and/or jaws of the player.
Bungee straps feature two pieces of elastic material close to the musician's neck and allow a controlled playing poition for the ease of blowing high notes. The player gets less exhausted even during long sessions.
Different models match the musicians' stage dress. Lace models feature a thin strap, the Live-Style versions are made of wider material. Standard versions feature an outer neckpiece made of leather, with the Sports-models the same part is made out of synthetic cloth. The inner pad of washable cotton is Velcro-attached and can easily be taken off. Adiitional pads can be purchased.
