4Adjuster

• A triangular shape to quickly make adjustments, employing a zigzag cut on both sides to prevent slippage.

5Hook

• We chose materials that are crucial to the resultant resonance of sound and coated it with an original formula.

6Auxiliary Strap

• The downward pull of the back portion of strap and the resulting friction helps keep the strap in optimal playing position. For the ribbon portion, we chose materials that have a soft, pleasant touch on the body that moves freely with the players body motions.
