CEBULLA

It began in 1995 when I increased my playing time to 6 hours. I felt more and more numbness in the vertebrae of my neck. While attending a yoga seminar, I realized that this area of the neck, also called the center of creativity, can be blocked by external pressure. This significant tension can slow blood supply to the brain and cause rapid fatigue. To remove this block I began experimenting and developing a new kind of neck strap. 

In 1996 I made my first Cebulla Sax Strap. I then had 50 saxophonists test the new strap over a period of several months. Since 1996, while continuing to innovate, I have created more than 30,000 straps, each one by hand.
