Genuine Leather Adjustable Mandolin,Ukulele Strap Belt, Soft Feel Comfortable Grip Slim Design - Brown - 1.40" inch Wide

As a new Ukulele player, I realized I needed a strap belt to keep my Ukulele in place while standing up to play. I was spending too much time trying to hold my Ukulele in place (bad enough as a newbie trying to keep up with the chord changes!).This strap belt made a huge difference in my ability to concentrate on playing instead of fighting the girations of my Ukulele while I was standing up to play. It is thick, wide, and adjustable to easily fit around any player. It also has a shoulder pad, which makes it even more comfortable to use. Oh, I have to add, I love the scent of the leather too!I found out the group I joined sits down in chairs for practice each week, but stands up when we do free singalongs. We play (free)!at homes for people (of all ages) with different types of memory loss due to auto accidents, falls, genetic anomalies, strokes, or some other forms of memory loss, including different forms of dementia. We also play at Hospice units. Wherever we play, the people seem to enjoy it, and I certainly enjoy it more now that I have this fabulous shoulder strap!There is such a difference in my playing using this strap belt, even though I miss chords, I am not fighting holding onto my Ululele.

I looked at a lot of straps for my concert sized ukulele, but few of the many fabric straps available looked nice enough to purchase. Some of the patterns were absolutely outlandish, which is what attracted me to this product. The brown colors go nicely with the mahogany of my Lanakai ukulele. The strap is a bit stiff at the moment, something that I likely wouldn't find in a fabric strap, but I expect it will soften up eventually. It also cost more than the others I was looking at, but that's to be expected for a leather product that's made by hand. I'm OK with the added expense considering what I received in exchange. I'm pleased.Update July 8, 2019: The strap has, indeed, softened up. An absolute winner of a purchase. Still very happy with it.

When I first bought my mandolin, I bought another strap to use with it. That strap tried to work for too many different instruments, and I could never get my mandolin to sit high enough.This strap is amazing. Very well made. Real leather. And super adjustable. The nicest perk is that wonderful leather aroma every time I take it out of the case.As solid as this strap is, I am pretty sure the strap will last the life of the mandolin!!!

The strap is excellent, especially considering the price of its competition. The length adjustments are far easier than other leather straps; a loop and buckle instead of having to re-work two pieces of leather into slots. I like the idea of the tanning method for the leather; no dyes or harsh chemicals. It arrived a bit stiff, which the seller acknowledged that it might, have some leather conditioner handy to loosen it up a bit. Leather CPR or saddle soap. It's going on my baritone ukulele. I recommend this one.

Goatskin strap, stitched well and very sturdy. As other have stated, the leather comes a bit stiff but a little conditioner takes care of it. Mine became much more pliable and comfortable and though I haven't had it that long it is starting to break in and feel like it is contoured to me. Very good value, well made. Fits both my F and A models comfortably with enough extra strap to adjust to my 6ft height. Just purchased a second one.

I had to condition the leather upon arrival. The strap was stiff and dry when I took it out of the box. Since it was not worth the time and expense of returning it, I decided to try to salvage it. The first application of conditioner helped a little, so I put a thick second coat on and left it rolled up for 24 hours inside a plastic bag. The strap finally softened up. It turned out to be a decent strap, but wiping and buffing the second coat was a lot of work.

I bought it for my tenor ukulele. Beautiful strap and appears to be very rugged with what I think may be brass fittings.To me the most outstanding feature is the smell of it. When you first put it around your neck the odor of the leather just wafts upward and encompasses you in the rich smell. Almost makes you want to take a bite of it.

I never write reviews but had to for this. high quality soft leather. Was concerned that it would be stiff and awkward but soft, comfortable and effective in supporting my uke comfortably.. would have paid 2x money for product.. Highly recommend. Was thinking of buying the sling that clips onto sound hole, but tried one at music store and very very unstable...Seriously good product and well worth money...

I bought this for a Cordoba Mini II, it fits like a charm. I was worried it might be too thick for a little guitar like this, but it is a great fit!

L'odeur du cuir, la souplesse aussi ! Excellent
