I was taught that clip on straps add enough weight to the system to be
noticeable.  So I don't use them. I just glue on standard straps.  

However, like lots of piano stuff, I've never actually tested this
philosophy.  I may just be that the small amount of weight the clips add
is of little importance to all but high end pianos.

Any thoughts on this?
