I am sure it is possible, but use a durable material that won't flex/ stretch a lot. It will also need some sort of adjustment mechanism and a good solid hook to hold the horn. You can search around for average weights of different saxes...I think tenors tend to range from 7.5-8.5 pounds.

You might just make something great and become an innovator in the saxophone strap world. Who knows?

Might be possible, but not sure how it would endure sweat, beer, skin, oil, saliva, etc. over time...

I wouldn't advise it.
Not that I don't think you couldn't make one, rather that there are too many factors involved that really require some careful testing.
If the worst happened and the strap gave way, you'd both feel awful.

You may have given folks an idea! Please inform us when you've finished, and your results.

My sister doesn't drink beer, eh!

Tequilla?

I'm sure a woolen neck strap is possible.

Are you a good knitter? I think to make something of sufficient strength would probably result in an overly warm neck. Perhaps you could do a woolen harness instead?

My sister drinks tequila 3 or 4 times a year, but she tries to drink the least quantity possible.

I'm good at knitting, eh!

Well tell her from me that she needs to drink a bit more. Especially if she's going to cope with you and your incessant knitting. :mrgreen:
