The original is like crazy, therefore I bought this to replace it. It fits my soprano sax perfectly. The hold to my gooseneck is excellent, and grip to my sax bell mouth is perfect too, not too tight or too strong. It won’t leave a dent or ding on the instrument. But one thing I need to mention is, it is a bit too thin, the grip to the bell will be more secure if the clip is fatter. All in all, it does what I want.
