I use a baritone sax harness for standing with my YEP641, where I can not use the K&M playing stand (Tuba model with a pillow between the forks). The harness saves the circulatury functions streaming through my neck. My brain works best on oxygen of a more recent supply.

To hook the harness to the euphh I took a strip of cheese cloth and made an 8-loop around the thinner main tuning slide branch and the stay connecting it to the 2nd branch.

When one of my repairmen asked for the purpose of the cloth loop, his reaction to my explaining was: "I just should have known. That would would have saved me from ruining much laquer by soldering on carriage rings".
