Experience the ultimate in comfort and versatility with the Lakota Leathers Non-Cradle Banjo Strap.
Crafted from luxurious bison leather, these straps attach via two ¾” wide, 20” tail sections. They can be installed by either looping the tails around a tension hook with Chicago screws or by simply threading a hook through the integrated adjustment holes. Ready to use immediately with no break-in period, it’s the professional choice for players who prioritize both instrument safety and shoulder comfort.
The 36” main body features 5 slots for customizable tailpiece placement, while the two 20” tails offer 7 holes each for precise fine-tuning. This versatile design provides a total adjustable length ranging from 41” to 57”.
