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 from wild buffalo. Soft, thick and very supple buffalo leather with a velvety surface. Pure dyeing of the leather in the barrel without any additional varnish or pigment colors on the surface. Pure nature! Rough, wild and beautiful. The color has a matt effect with a touch of "vintage" which is further enhanced by the natural characteristics of the skin. A special shrinking process gives the leather a lot of volume and the natural look of the skin is thus even more evident. This breathable leather forms a real leather patina and becomes more beautiful over the years. High-end quality. Free from harmful substances. Mineral tanning. This leather comes from wild buffalo. Overgrown scars, healed hedge cuts and insect bites are natural features. They testify to life in freedom and underline the outstanding natural quality of the material. The authentic leather makes each strap unique.
- Cold foam padding (premium memory foam).
- Microfiber interior, 50 % polyester, 50 % polyurethane (PU).
- Robust saddler's thread gives the strap stability and an extremely high-quality contour.
