You could always get a PipStick... I play off the leg all the time, and I never needed a pinky hook or flipper or strap. I always found that if your left hand is at the proper angle and your left hand is naturally 'grippy' enough so that you can pull the desired amount. But as a side note, yo

I play off the leg--it's more flexible and helps breathing. However,one disadvantage of playing off the leg is that it changes the balance point of the horn, and the left hand has to pull the horn towards the face. Thus, I need something to keep my fingers aligned with the keys. When I play on the
