Re: Strap installation question
On mandolin especially -compared to guitar- it's good to keep the stap out beyond the nut and among the tuners, as some have suggested. Some mandolin fingerings aren't at all happy with the strap right there.
Some will surely disagree, as I used to, but it's likely that simply throwing the loop around the headstock -tuners, strings, & all- will work perfectly well, with little chance of loop pressure pulling the strings out of tune. That thought was originally from Sully of "Sully's Straps" fame,
