the t.bone Ovid System Sax Clip

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.

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.
