This is for you Duo Gravis players!
I just got lucky enough to pick up a Duo Gravis with stacked triggers at an affordable price.
The Yamaha Strap I use with my 72H doesn't fit too well.
What Grip works best on the Duo's?
Thanks

Re: Duo Gravis question
I don't use a grip with mine, though I do use a Sheridan grip on my Shires. The valve wrap comes too close to the main bell brace (which is also curved at the attachment point) for a Rath-style grip to work, the brace already goes under your thumb, so a bullet brace isn't a great option, and having the threaded nut on the slide side of the connection makes something like the Sheridan or, probably, the Neotech troublesome to work around.
Luckily, I find the horn to be quite well balanced and so I don't suffer from not having an extra grip accessory, but that doesn't really solve your problem.

The Neotech works with it; I used one on mine when I had one for about 2 years.

Re: Duo Gravis question
Seconding the Neotech. I put one on my Duo Gravis last fall and it has helped a lot. Having the threaded nut on the slide side makes it slightly more difficult to tighten and loosen the nut, but it still works for me. I am considering trimming a small amount of the brace plastic to make it easier to disassemble, but is is a nice to have, not a necessity.

Re: Duo Gravis question
I switched to a Yeo grip with mine which helps some. One day I'll get organised enough to have the triggers split, which is probably the right answer.

I have the triggers split on my DuoGravis.
I use a Neotech Grip which works just fine for me.
Enjoy yor new Axe. It sure is something special.

Re: Duo Gravis question
I played a buddy's DG with no problems. My 7B, very different. I tried the Yeo grip, and modified Yeo grip, no luck. My hand still hurt. A Neotech that fixed that.
I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are still missing!
