It has been very difficult for women with long hair to wear existing neck straps for saxophones. To address this, straps for saxophones and wind instruments are configured to be worn on one shoulder rather than the neck, and thus wind-instrument players of all mankind can use them conveniently. In order to wear the strap for a saxophone on one shoulder, materials for supporting the saxophone strap include strong supports (A, B, C, D, E, F). In addition, the supports adjust angles (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) and lengths (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) to be suitable for the body. In addition, at parts where the supports come into contact with the abdomen and back, pedestals (23, 22) hold the supports. Also, a string having a ring (G)for hanging the saxophone is connected to the supports. The above components are firmly coupled to one another to form the one-shoulder strap for a saxophone.
