On mine it's a horizontal metal plate with two parallel holes drilled - the left is for sitting, right for standing. First concert I played with it the strap came adrift during a long tacet section, causing a little embarrassment as I was about to take a solo. The holes are too small for most locking hooks.<br />I have the hard case sitting at my son's house in Dorset if you're interested.<br />Other than that it's a great horn with a fast action.<br />I also have a Couesnon soprano for which I spent a long time searching for a suitable mouthpiece. Definitely a quiet "chamber horn" with a classical tone. Previous owner had used something like cosmetic talcum powder to cure sticky pads and some incorrect springs had also been fitted - - easy to diagnose as they fell out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09422177064082961384noreply@blogger.com
