Attaching Banjo Straps- Banjo straps have very different ends than guitar straps. Basically guitars usually have "buttons" on each end that allows a strap-end with a keyhole shape to securely fit over each button. To attach a banjo strap, most banjos have only have brackets around the resonator/head area of the banjo so you need something that wraps securely around these pegs.

Banjo straps attach to these brackets on the side of the banjo that hold the resonator head in place. There are a lot of different designs to do this, but the best way is the hook and clasp attachments like you'll see outfitted on Couch banjo straps here in these pics.

The strap attaches the same way to back bracket on the resonator/body.

Notice in the pictures that simply open the clasp and hook each end around each bracket on the front and back of the main body of the banjo and not way up at the headstock the end of the neck like you will when attaching a strap to an acoustic guitar. On our banjo strap you can use the end straps also to adjust the length of the strap too.
