Why couldn't/doesn't someone put a strap button behind the Uke's head just under the tuners? ld:
If it's the tying/untying that annoys you (for whatever reason), try this solution I found in another thread on this board.Yes, keep it simple, can't go wrong with a bit of string.
I too just purchased a mandolin strap and it works perfectly. Slide the loop under the strings just before the nut at the headstock and use the button at the bout.
I've got something even better for banjoleles, especially that BUT - paracord. Or any small diameter cord/string/twine would work but this stuff is strong, cheap, and non scratchy. I just took a length of it, strung it underneath the hardware almost all the way around the pot, then tied a simple knot and slip over my head. It took a little experimentation to find the preferred length and where on the pot to stop stringing. Very simple.I'm gonna try using a strap like a saxophone strap on my banjoleles. Around my neck and hooked on to the top of the Uke -- we'll see.
