Does anybody play a piggy on a strap or harness?

Just doing some thinking and it made me wonder about a horn I used to have. Could be a "handy", "piggy", or other names I don't yet know. Thanks and Peace. ASG

I don't know how you'd play it, but here's a PICTURE of a piggy on a harness:

I used to play a piggy with various strap setups... at times just a long shoestring over my right shoulder, other times a blue note strap. It was such a light horn that I was okay just carrying it without a strap, but I needed to be able to pull slides or hold a flip folder with the left hand.

Yes, Joe, that is indeed a piggy harness.
