In a recent thread I talked about adding a strap to my new Gary Gill tenor. I use straps on all my ukes, and normally add a strap button to both the tail block and the heel of the neck. Both Mim & Gary recommended against drilling into the neck because of the metal piece in the neck. I'm not a big fan of tying onto the headstock. I really don't like the tie to be just above the nut, as it gets in the way of my left hand. Tying in between the tuners is ok, but I worry about the pressure of the cord against the tuners. I saw the Uke Leash and liked the wider webbing strap for the headstock. Problem was, I already had a Sherrins Threads strap on the uke that I liked. Plus I had the other end secured to the MiSi pick-up end pin with a Tapastring strap keeper that I also like a lot.
So.....I browsed the Uke Leash website and noticed the banjo strap adapters at the bottom of the page. There was my answer. A short piece with the male part of the buckle that easily ties onto my ST strap and snaps into the female headstock strap that can be purchased separately. This works great. The headstock strap is snug against the headstock and can be rotated in a way as to not put pressure on the tuners.
I thought I'd share this for others who might want to modify a strap they already have, or just get an entire Uke Leash.
