Problem go far away.
I thought this was a pretty good suggestion untill I saw the price tag.OUCH! I like the two economical ideas that followed schlepporello's.

I bought one, paid the price, got a slipped disc, (paid the price again) now I carry my horn in my left hand without financial or physical problems

"Meinl Weston sells a strap on? "

Can you try before you buy? I tried a harness for bass saxophone, and it didn't work out very well for me, though it presumably works for some combination of person and instrument. Different situation, but same principle - one size doesn't fit all.

I used climbing rope on my Miraphone, narrow flattened sleeve of rainbow colored woven nylon or something, run
through all three rings. It was a 190, if I remember right, bell up.
