What Is a Neck Holder?

Neck holders are designed for harmonicas.

A neck holder is a device designed to hold something around someone's neck, while leaving their hands free. Objects that can be used with neck holders include harmonicas, identification and eyeglasses.

Harmonicas

Neck holders for harmonicas are designed to hold a harmonica up to a player's mouth while keeping their hands free. They are popular among folk musicians, and have been used by music legends such as Bob Dylan.

Identification

Neck holders for identification are typically a pouch with a clear plastic window, hung on a long cord around the neck to prominently display official identification in the workplace.

Eyeglasses

Neck holders for eyeglasses are typically a long cord, featuring two silicone loops on either end designed to hold the arms on a pair of eyeglasses. The cord is then slipped on over the head, keeping the eyeglasses in place. Neck holders for eyeglasses are convenient, because they allow you to remove eyeglasses and hang them around the neck, instead of setting them down and potentially losing track of them.
