Meinl BR3 Leather Straps for Cymbals (Marching)

Meinl BR3 Leather Straps for Cymbals (Marching) are premium-grade leather straps designed for comfort, durability, and control when playing hand-held cymbals in marching or orchestral settings. Whether you’re in a parade band, pit ensemble, or concert hall, these straps provide secure handling and a traditional look.

Materials and Build Quality

The BR3 straps are made from thick, genuine leather that softens with use while maintaining strength and shape. The material is double-stitched for added durability, ensuring the straps can handle repeated high-impact playing without fraying or stretching out of shape.

The loop design easily threads through the cymbal holes, allowing for quick installation and a secure grip. Once installed, the straps provide just enough flexibility for expressive crashes while maintaining firm control—especially useful in dynamic marching performances or choreographed routines.

Performance and Use Case

These leather straps are ideal for marching bands, drum corps, and concert percussionists who need a traditional strap grip for crash cymbals. The comfortable fit and robust construction help reduce hand fatigue while maintaining maximum control over articulation and sound quality.

The Meinl BR3 straps are also a perfect match for Meinl’s orchestral and marching cymbal collection, but they are compatible with most standard-sized hand cymbals.
