Customer reviews about the t.bone Ovid System Sax Clip

A

Unlikely to fit any model of saxophone

Ambercap 23.06.2020

I bought this for use on a Yamaha Alto sax and a Yanagisawa Tenor. The clip barely manages to fit onto the alto sax and then promptly pops off, and absolutely cannot fit onto the tenor. This is because the bell of a sax is curved and has a lip on the outside edge, while this clip is made to fit onto a perfectly flat, thin surface without any lip. I have to assume the designer of this clip has seen very few saxophones in his/her life.

If the side profile of this clip was curved with a larger rounded out section to accommodate the lip, instead of being rectangular in shape, and if the slot were a bit deeper, it would have worked.

I ordered this clip together with lots of other equipment and paid a lot for shipping. I would like to try the Universal clip instead but to pay EUR70 for shipping on a clip worth only EUR13 is just not practical so now I am really stuck!

An absolutely useless design! A large disappointment.

Buy the Universal Clip for Sax

Macs 66 29.01.2018

Due to the previous negative reviews for this item, I checked with Thomann before ordering that it had been revised. I was told it had. Just to be sure - I also ordered the Universal Clip. Upon taking the Sax Clip out of the box, both rubber feet simply slipped off the clip, I pushed them back on and fitted it to my sax. I was not satisfied that it was providing a good, secure grip on the horn. I switched over to the Universal Clip and was immediately impressed with its simplicity and security of grip. The Sax Clip will have to be returned.

Useless and non-functional - waste of time and money

KeithW 21.07.2014

This is the first really badly designed item I have had in 20 years from thomann.
It is hard to fit on any sax. The clip is on a hair trigger and springs off without any movement or provocation. It is even worse with the mic in place and it is impossible to place in a functional position without it detaching itself and the mic, both ending up dangling or on the floor. Whoever designed and approved this never tried to gig it with a sax. We are currently exploring whether thomann have an alternative that works. Our sax player has 4 sax's and we tried it on all of them with the same outcome. I think it is back to the drawing board on this one.

Poorly designed

Anonymous 15.02.2015

The t.bone Ovid System Sax Clip dont fit with every saxophone. For alto saxophone it's okay and stable but for my tenor sax it is really bad and doesn't hold microphone on place. This sax clip is over priced and very poorly designed.

It is tiny, but works.

Zsemle 17.07.2020

It is made of not-scratching-my-horn-but-staying-there kind of plastic, which I liked. There is an extra set of rubber pads provided, which are removable. It is much smaller than I anticipated from the picture.

This is not a sax clip!

Robzzzzzzz 03.11.2021

I bought this clip for my alto sax, since it was advertized as a ... sax clip. Don't make the same mistake!
It doesn't fit well (tried it on several saxophones), it doesn't dampen the sounds of your keys and nevertheless they dare to ask 17 euro for this small piece of rubber.

A solution!

ronhow 09.04.2018

Not too sure about these, I haven't used them live. The fixing method seems a bit flimsy. I bought an Ovid system as a spare goose neck option to mic other horns up if needed and there are lots of options to fit the mics to all sorts of instruments in different situations ...
