The LUXO has been developed especially for instruments which are played in inclined position slightly lateral to your body, e.g. the Rio style caixa played in low position, the repinique or the surdo. The strap is sewn together above the hook in an angle allowing the instrument to stay in a stable position without drifting to the middle of your body. No more fiddling around to keep your instrument in the right position! With the LUXO your instrument hangs stable and you can go ahead playing without distraction!
You will find it really comfortable to play techniques like the traditional grip on the caixa or the Rio style repinique using this strap. Also Maracatuzeiros will like this strap as it brings your alfaia in the perfect inclined playing position which the technique to play them requires. Rio sambistas will also appreciate, especially during parades or long rehearsals. The strap does not work for match grip techniques. Its fit is super-comfy with thick breathable padding. You can adjust the length by deplacing the thorn in an eyelet.

Macapart straps are made by a percussionist in Rio who has very high demands on functionality, quality and design. The open hook system is ideal for fast instrument changings and the most commonly used system in Brazil.
