The weight distribution and wearing comfort are particularly pleasant thanks to the ergonomic shape and the breathable padding. This strap is also suitable for heavy instruments in any playing position. The RICHTER SLIDE TAILPIECE supplied allows you to use the LIFT & LOWER function in addition to the very flexible, stepless and precise FIXED length adjustment. With this setting you can adjust the strap length in seconds while playing. Artisan quality means more than just neat workmanship. It also means the best possible quality of the leather and uncompromising high quality of the materials used.
Materials of the strap shoulder piece
- Real leather. Vegetable-tanned premium buffalo leather (chrome-free). Completely natural and oiled by hand. This breathable leather is able to get a real leather patina and becomes more beautiful over the years. High-end quality. Free from harmful substances. This leather comes from wild buffalo. Overgrown scars, healed hedge cuts and insect bites are natural marks. They testify to life in freedom and underline the outstanding natural quality of the material. The authentic leather makes each strap unique.

- Microfiber interior, 50 % polyester, 50 % polyurethane (PU).

- SET-UP 1: LIFT & LOWER - Your RICHTER SLIDE TAILPIECE allows you to pull your instrument up in seconds or simply slide it down into the low playing position.
