a strap for ukulele~~~

frankie981 · Feb 18, 2015

I use my camera strap to DIY for my uke.
Now my uke become a "mkii lele"

The story is when i tidy my room last night, i found a unused camera strap. as u all know, using this strap to carry a around 1.5KG camera(with lens) is not a nice experience(especially in summer

).
so I change one with cushion and store this original one somewhere in my room...
Once I found it last night I start my DIY~
really it fits and comfortable,
And start playing on my uke for hours~~~really nice

How did you modify/attach it?

I like this one off of Amazon prime for $20. But they are easy to make.

Cool idea Frankie, why didn't I think of that instead of purchasing 2 straps for 60 bucks.

Yeah mate, I think it looks great. How did you attach the back, if you don't mind me asking?

I use the original strap and a rope~
one side (top) just like what you do on your camera,
another side, use the rope walk around the belly(or i should say waist seems my uke don't have a belly~

) and make a knot.
After that, use your camera strap connect the rope~
then ~the next step is~~enjoy your uke~~~~

How does it hang? I have a mandolin strap on one of my ukes attached at the headstock but don't care for how it hangs.

Lori's Uke Leash is my favourite strap.
