Comfortable and strong
The accordion straps are easy to adjust and are very comfortable. You could say that Neotech helped to improve my playing ability. They are so comfortable that I practice longer and therefore play a little better. Now if the rate of improvement continues my wife may not make me play in the garage. It took a bit to find a way to quickly release the back strap since it is not readily accessible. My wife joked that she might have to help me put it on and take it off. I quickly realized that the quick release on the lower end of the shoulder harness could be easily released making it easy to slip out from under the right strap. Putting it back on was just as easy.I would have preferred leather straps but the ones that the Neotech replaced were leather and broke unexpectedly, not good. They were worn but appeared to be in good shape but they broke. Strong and dependable beat looks any day in my book and the Neotech are not bad looking anyway.I was a little apprehensive when I read the description of the product but the features and price persuaded me to give Neotech a try. The product exceeded my expectations and I would definitely buy them again.I would recommend them to a friend, even a good friend.

Very supportive
The back strap is great and easy to do and undo. Really distributes the weight of my accordion. I'm pretty small and I had to tighten up the shoulder straps all the way but it fits great there. Straps are padded and comfortable. The back strap is my favorite part. My last pair didn't have one and the support difference is just fantastic. These are a bit more pricey than others here on Amazon but worth it. You probably already have an accordion, it's probably heavy, you clearly need new straps, get these.

Neotech Accordion Harness
Just received and hooked up the harness onto my accordion, a five-row Saltarelle Chaville, which is a small accordion. Usage will tell if the harness deserves the five stars. At this time, this is what I can say: it is easy to install with a system that will not damage my accordion and very adjustable (I am a 5' 1'' petite). The shoulder straps are greatly adjustable in length and so is the back strap. Once the initial length adjustments are made on the shoulder straps, it is very easy to refine or modify the adjustments by lifting the buckles to lengthen the straps or pulling on the straps to shorten them, while you are playing. No need to undo buckles. To "take off" the accordion, I open the back-strap buckle. I find the buckles a little hard to separate (open), which is pretty common for this type of buckles. The harness does have a smell to it, as do many synthetic materials. It is not my favorite smell and I hope it will go away. Usage will tell if the harness is comfortable after hours of playing.

Description does not do justice
I play accordion on the street, standing for hours with a heavy accordion. In the past, I used these Hohner Accordion Straps , which are decent, but tend to slide away from the center of my back over time. The Neotech harness takes care of that, because of the added back-strap that holds the shoulder straps in place.One piece of information in the description wasn't clear to me: "two Neo-Loops at the bottom." It turns out that a "Neo-Loop" is a loop of nylon webbing with one gender of a plastic buckle attached. You put the loops on your accordion's bottom strap clip, and from then on, you can clip your straps into them easily. So, when putting the instrument on or taking it off, you have the option of using the clip on the back-strap and leaving the "Neo-Loops" connected, or vice versa. Useful if the clip on the back-strap is hard to reach.The vertical position of the back-strap is adjustable, which also wasn't clear in the description.Best straps I've ever used.

Very comfortable and long enough to allow plenty of adjustment!
This was my first set of accordion straps that I purchased, and are definitely one of my favorites. These are so comfortable, and long enough to make them highly adjustable! Other sets I've found, such as the leather ones, were simply not long enough (and I'm only 5'7", 145 lbs).Took me a few minutes to lay them out and install, and they've been awesome for nearly 2 years!I also have the other Neotech set also from Amazon, and enjoy them with my smaller accordion, though they do not have the backstrap that this set has.Neotech = comfort!

Stabilizes your accordion
The accordion straps were easy to install and are comfortable to wear. The cross strap in the upper back really stabilizes the accordion preventing it from sliding around making it easy to operate the bellows and play.

These are great if you have narrow shoulders
Great for narrower shoulders, they don't constantly slide off
