    Default New strap from Mandolin Straps of Montana

    I just got this strap today from Alan Gelman (http://www.mandolinstrapsofmontana.com/) and it's a perfect color match and looks and feels great. It's the 4th strap I have that Alan made and I highly recommend contacting him if you're interested in a high quality strap.

    Great looking strap! I'm a fan as well - I have two of Alan's straps, can't recommend them highly enough!

    A very nice looking strap that compliments your mandolin. No metal or plastic to harm your finish. Is the length adjustable?

    I agree - I've bought several straps from Alan. He is very accommodating to specific dimension requirements and his straps are beautiful.

    It's not only a nice looking strap, it's also a nice looking mandolin.

    Yes, the length is adjustable. There are three holes on the end you'd attached on the tailpiece side. Click image for larger version.

    I received my mandolin strap from Mandolin Straps of Montana and it is a beauty. Better than I expected! The quality of the workmanship is the best. The leather and tooling are superb. The strap exceeded my expectations. Love the strap and Alan was easy to work with. Check his website out if you are looking for a nice hand made leather strap.
