Hi Russ,

I used a camera strap for quite awhile in my banjo and it was the most comfortable strap I ever had on the banjo until I made the strap I currently use.

The big drawback was the metal spring hooks I clipped to the brakets on my Ode Long Neck. The transducer would pick up the sound of metal on metal every time I changed instruments. Sound like I was chaging a team of horses in the stage mix.

My current strap is made from the liners of two Golds Gym Weightlifters belts I found in a overstock sale at Warehouse 19 5/8
in Natick Mass. This strap is tied to the brackets with leather and it is very comfortable and very quiet.

Don
