MAX-Strap harness system - special timbal strap

The Timba Special strap is equipped with smaller carabiners and rings (without extension strap and buckle). If having space around your chest is particularly important to you or you need to mind special body measurements, please use the standard modell MAX strap system Standard.

This strap system is especially designed for carrying timbals; you can quickly attach and detach your timbal and still carry it safely, also during longer parades!

1st Version - 1 attachment point:
The strap is attached to only 1 tension hook. Pick any hook on your timbal, open it, pull it out a bit and thread the ring over it before putting the hook back where it was and tightening it up again. Now clip both carabiners to the ring and adjust the timbal to the playing height you like. The straps will now run straight down from your shoulders instead of sideways along the upper body. When you are moving, you can simply direct your timbal with your knees.

2nd version - 2 attachment points:
If you feel that your timbal is more comfortable or stable wearing it attached to two hooks instead of one and you prefer having more space around your chest area, simply attach the carabiners to 2 adjacent tension hooks.

Note for special sizes:

• With 1 attachment point, the straps will run down over the chest. For ladies with a larger breast, we therefore recommend either to use 2 attachment points or to switch to the MaxGurt Standard harness instead.
• If you have a large belly, please note: The timbal should then hang higher so that you can play comfortably and the hip belt is long enough.

All straps can be shortened continuously. This means that e.g. if you are a size M and have excess strap length that bothers you, you can either tuck the ends away or cut them off and flame them.
