A marching strap for a euphonium?????

I've been playing (and marching) with a eupho in Australia and New
Zealand for 40 years  and I've never even seen a marching strap for a
euph. I always assumed that a eupho player's ego was big enough to
make the instrument seem as light as a tenor horn on the march.  None
of those sissy bass-type straps for us if you please...

Perhaps they just breed us tougher down under!!!  (Having said that, I
usually loose about 3 kilos in perspiration every time we march
anywhere, much to amusement of the band members.)

Cheers,
