BS-71 Double Padded Black Leather Cradle Style Banjo Strap 3.5″

This is our new BS-71 banjo strap in black leather with double padding and cradle style ends

For the curious, there are two main methods for attaching straps to banjos. There is the “dog clip” method, which is about like it sounds. Clips like the ones on a dog leash are clipped on to convenient spots on the banjo hardware, usually the tension rods, but also sometimes onto hooks that are there for this purpose. The other way is the “cradle” method, where the ends of the strap are wrapped half way around the banjo body, threaded through the tension rods and then laced back onto themselves. Neither method is necessarily better than the other, although the cradle style is probably the most comfortable way to sling a banjo. However these cradle straps will not work on every banjo. You need to have at least 1″x1/8″ of open space under your tension rods.
