Seamus a back crossing strap seems like a great idea for heavy instruments. That is a design they use for infant carriers too. But I find a harness for my banjo would feel so unatural.

After reading these postings I do plan to take the price tag off the strap I bought, put it on and start getting us to playing standing up once in awhile. Seems like the wise thing to do.

Margo as for 'the screw things that hold the head on dig into my leg. (Sorry about not knowing the proper terminology - someone correct me'.......The right terminology is.....Those 'fricken' screw things 'kill' my leg.

Pat have you come across any of those magnetic undies designed in thong style? I guess I could reverse the panties above and wear them front to back, but those leg straps are so unattractive.
