User questions & answers

Question:	do i need to buy clips in order to attach this strap to a banjo
Answer:	No, but you must have something for them to attach to on your banjo. My banjo has 2 triangle shaped strap holders on it.
Question:	Can you please tell me what is length of this strap in inches and how small in inches can it be adjusted down to? Thank you
Answer:	The strap is about 55 inches long. It can be adjusted to about half that unless you want to cut the strap and reattach it smaller...
Question:	Can the strap also be used on the mandolin
Answer:	Unfortunately this strap will not work on a mandolin. It is designed specifically to loop around the brackets on the body of the banjo. Since a mandolin does not have brackets around it’s body, there is nothing that the strap can connect to. I hope this helps!
