I don’t know why more people haven’t bought and reviewed this great strap. I imagine it is because the name brand is not as well known as some others. I bought one of these at a music store in Tennessee (where these are made) and loved it so much better than two other straps I had purchased, and was pleased to be able to buy another one through Amazon. This strap is strong and smooth, soft, really nice leather, of the type it’s difficult to find anymore. I hate hard, stiff leather that sheds touching my instruments or in my cases. This crushes nicely if a mandolin fits tight in its case, then smoothes right out again in use. Give this brand a go if you need a strap! I don’t have an end pin in my mandolin to button the strap to, so I just used a soft round black shoelace to thread under the tailpiece, made a nice tie in it, and it looks and feels fantastic.

Genuine leather with a leathery smell, nicely made in Tennessee, reasonably priced, folds softly into the case, feels comfy to wear. All good. However, I’m using mine on an A-style mandolin with a strap button in the neck heel, and I have to use Dunlop strap locks at both ends to keep the strap on. The holes in the soft leather stretch immediately, and won’t keep the strap safely attached at either end — particularly on the tiny strap button at the tailblock end.

I was not sure if this would work on an A style mandolin, but it works great. I undid the loop and attached it under the strings at the top of the head, there is still plenty of strap to attach the bottom at a good place with the tail peg. The strap is indeed as soft as it claims; I am amazed to find an affordable leather product this soft. All around a great (and great looking) way to hold up a mandolin.
