I don't like the balance with a strap attached to the headstock. I asked around about putting a strap button on the body of the Clara. Blackbird recommended using a #6 1/2" sheetmetal screw, and that's what I did. I had some black strap buttons, so all I had to do was drill a hole.
That eKoa is tough! I found it more difficult than drilling into wood. After drilling the hole, it was difficult to get the screw to go in very far, so I had to enlarge the hole a bit by wiggling the drill bit. If you do this, enlarge the hole a bit at a time. I was afraid of breaking the screw or cracking the eKoa when it was tough screwing it in. I eventually got it large enough that it would screw in firmly.
