Re: Mandolin straps
I've always used Long Hollow and Lakota leather straps and they always stay on the mandolin in the case. I have mandolins with new and old finishes and I've never had a problem.
A buddy of mine was temporarily using a cheap nylon strap on his Martin guitar one time and only a week's worth of storage in the case messed up the finish.

The older I get, the less tolerant I am of political correctness, incompetence and stupidity.
