Here's a nice selection of Woven Stinger Leather straps. These are one-of-a-kind; there's no other strap being made that offers the Stinger unique features and quality. Until you've tried a Stinger strap, you won't know what you're missing.

Our mandolin straps are constructed of the finest suede leather. This is a strong, supple, material which lies flat and stays where it is placed. A sliding bead secures the strap to the mandolin and heavy duty leather is used at the attachment point. The beads are real wood, not plastic and every strap is painstakingly handmade for a product guaranteed to last a Lifetime by FOTW.

This is a full-length strap worn in the same manner as a guitar strap. It is mounted by placing the leather loop over the scroll and sliding the bead to hld it securely in place. There are numerous holes in the weave at the opposite end to secure it to the tailpiece strap button. This allows approximately ten inches of adjustment and can be shortened if desired.

This is an extra long strap mounted by either looping or tieing the leather loop around the headstock and taking up the slack with the sliding bead. There are numerous adjustment holes to secure it to the tailpiece strap button and it can also be shortened if desired. Can be used for "F" and "A" Style Mandolins.

This is a full-length strap with an abbreviated leather loop and locking bead at one end and three adjustment holes at the other. It is for instruments with two strap buttons and is worn guitar style. Pefect for the A-Style Mandolin.

Strap Adjustment for Customized Fit

1) Adjust the strap to fit by first attaching it to the scroll, peg head or front strap button, then placing the tailpiece button through one of the adjustment holes at the opposite end.

2) Tie a piece of string through the chosen hole to mark it and remove the strap from the instrument.

3) Snip off the knots which hold the four round beads in place at the end of the strap. Slide off the oblong bead and carefully unwind the weave to point approximate one inch below the chosen hole.

4) When you have achieved the desired length, secure the end of the weave with a clothes pin to keep it from unraveling. Slide the oblong bead back on and make certain it is snug. Cut the excess material off approximately four inches below the bead.

5) Take three of the four strands and shorten each by one-half, one and one and one-half inches respectively. Replace the round beads and tie a knot at the end of each strand. Place a drop of SuperGlue at the top and/or bottom of the oblong bead to secure it.
