I have a Mainland mahogany tenor w/ slotted headstock. I get tired of having to hold it standing up, as I get very uncomfortable. My Epiphone ukulele has buttons, so I have a leather strap attached to it. It makes life SO much easier!
So I guess my question is, is it okay to install strap buttons on my Mainland ukulele? I'm on eBay looking to buy some buttons, and I figured it'd be easy enough to drill them in and have no problems. Has anyone else done this? Any input, or tips? Guitar buttons should be fine, right? I'm very keen on doing this, and I'll surely be careful about it. I wouldn't want any harm done to my uke or anything.
I have looked at other alternatives, like the uke leash and I have a hooked strap, but I get annoyed with it, as I have to always hold onto my uke; if I let it go, it tips right over!
