Vandoren "What color is your sound?": an accessory in the spirit of the brand
With the VSBB, Vandoren stays true to its identity: elegant design, attention to detail, and accessories that meet real musicians' needs. A nod to the slogan "What color is your sound?", this neckstrap spacer comes in a sober and premium style while maintaining the main goal: improving ergonomics without complicating your setup.
For which musicians and instruments?
The Vandoren VSBB is intended for saxophonists, clarinetists, and double reed players who use a neckstrap and want to gain comfort during long sessions. It is suitable for beginners (seeking a more natural position) as well as advanced and professional musicians, especially in orchestras, brass bands, studios, or on stage, where playing ease and mobility make a difference.
Sound and Design
As a neckstrap spacer, the VSBB does not directly influence timbre, projection, or intonation: its role is to improve wearing comfort and perceived stability. By keeping the strap slightly away from the neck, it reduces pressure points and friction, which can help you stay relaxed and better manage breathing and endurance. Its anodized aluminum provides excellent durability and a particularly clean finish.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
If you already use a Vandoren neckstrap, the VSBB is a simple upgrade to gain comfort without changing your habits. It is also announced as compatible with most straps on the market : if in doubt about a very specific model (width or particular attachment system), simply check that the shape and thickness of the strap allow the spacer to be installed.

Very easy to put on and comfortable for the neck. My necklace has fairly large cords so the retractor does not move. For thin cords it must be put back in place quite often.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Vandoren VSBB spreader compatible with a saxophone neckstrap?
The VSBB is advertised as compatible with most neckstraps on the market. For a neckstrap with a particular width or attachment system, the shape and thickness must allow its installation.
Can this spreader be used with a clarinet or double reed instrument?
This accessory is designed for saxophones, clarinets, and double reed instruments played with a neckstrap.
Does the neckstrap spreader change the sound of the saxophone?
Its action does not directly modify the tone, projection, or intonation. By slightly distancing the strap from the neck, it reduces friction and pressure points. A more relaxed posture can thus facilitate breath control and endurance.
What material is the black Vandoren spreader made from?
It is made from anodized aluminum with a black finish. This material is chosen for its durability over time.
Is the Vandoren VSBB suitable for long playing sessions with a neckstrap?
Its function is to keep the neckstrap slightly away from the neck to limit pressure experienced during long sessions. It is especially intended for musicians playing in orchestras, brass bands, studios, or on stage.
