Planet Waves D'Addario Accessories Leather Mandolin Strap - Mandolin Accessories - Cradle Style - Brown

Real leather strap and good quality. A bit long - if you used the furthest hole on the strap, I don't see how you would be able to play the instrument! I cut my down as I didn't want a tough piece of leather flapping around. Excellent!

Just as I thought

Good quality adjustable strap. Unfortunately not suitable for my bowl back mandolin but I’m keeping it for when I get a modern style instrument.

I am pretty pleased with this product. It is a nice soft leather, and I have used leather balm on it which has made it softer still. It has a very smooth ¨right side¨ and, disappointingly rougher underside. I would have preferred the strap to be smooth both sides. I wouldn't recommend the ladies to wear a delicate blouse or top whilst using it. There is no pattern on the strap, it is essentially a plain strap. I bought this strap for use with my Washburn Rover guitar as the strap that came with this guitar was far too big for Ole Blue (the Washburn Rover)and the Mandolin strap fits Ole Blue perfectly. Only drawback is this guitar is very hard to fit onto the guitar. Strong fingers are essential. Very comfortable to wear with my little guitar. I would not hesitate to buy another should I need to. However, I foresee this strap lasting a long while.

This is a simple and effective leather strap which fitted my scroll carved F5 bluegrass styled shape mandolin. I removed the cord to loop the strap around the scroll on the side of the body and the button hole fixed over the end button. It is a good quality of leather and I expect it to last a very long time so great value too.

Its a mandolin strap. Constructed from tough black leather and a synthetic cord for attatching to the neck of the instrument. The length is adjustable by selecting which eyelet you use at the base of the mandolin. Does the job it says on the ... header ;)

ok

Not a lot to say. Its cheap, fits the mandolin, is unobtrusive, no-frills/basic, does-what-it-says-on-the-tin. After using it while playing, standing, I prefer a wider shoulder strap for sustained standing playing.

Es rígida y áspera; espero que mejore con el tiempo.

First of all, for only using F-style, you need something that'll fit easily and securely around the scroll. These seem so simple and minimalistic, but they're perfect. This leather material is just the right thickness and width for these F-styles, but I'm sure it would be good for anything else such as A's, or Neapolitans, etc. You'd have to use the tie for those but seriously I didn't care, I just needed a few for some F's. I modify my F's tailpieces and add a Gretsch straplock button (I know you really can't see that part from the image I posted). These straps fit perfectly under that and I'm having NO issues with any of these. I typically leave a few on the main instruments I'm practicing on regularly. When I go to clean them up during string changes and do a set-up, they're leaving no marks or showing any signs of harm to the finish. It's just wide enough to not bother my shoulder (I typically like straps for guitars etc to be wide). Mandolins are light so these have just enough "stretch" to them to feel comfortable. That's a reason to want leather too. They have just enough give--like a tiny amount of elasticity leaving you without fatigue if you play for several hours at a time. There is ONE LITTLE thing though that you might want to pay attention to if you only order ONE of them. I noticed they haven't all been of the same consistent "stiffness". I prefer them soft, or to have a worn-in, broken-in feel. Two of them were a bit softer and more broken-in feeling when I got them. Those are way more comfortable. One of them is a little tiny bit more "stiff", very new-leather-feeling. It's still ok, and I have no problem using it. I'll break it in more myself, but I just thought I'd mention that. I figure if you got one and thought it was way too stiff feeling, maybe you could return it for another and get a softer one. You could of course break it in your self, but again just something I thought I'd mention. For people that have had issues THINKING they're way too tiny or short?? You DON'T wear it over your back like a guitar strap. Mandolin straps are traditionally worn high to position the instrument correctly, and you "hook" the strap over the shoulder of your picking hand. So, if you're a right-handed player, you'll hook the strap over your right shoulder. I was surprised to find out that's not commonly known to newer mandolin players. ~JSV

Good strap for A shape mandolins. Depending on how you position the instrument and if you tie off at the body or the headstock could be just long enough. I have no room to spare with mine.

Good

Je l'ai fixé sur la position la plus courte. Je préfère porter haut. Je viens de la recevoir et je ne sais pas comment ça va vieillir. Pour l'instant ça va.
