    Default Strap for 'F' octave mandolin

    I have a new (to me) Weber Bitterroot F20-F OM on its way to me and have been thinking about a strap for it. Looking for your opinions and suggestions. My basic criteria is flat leather (not the round braided kind), width around 1", adjustable, and has one end set up to go around the scroll. I use a fabric guitar strap for my current A style OM, but was never really happy with it.

    I just picked up one of these for my F-2 copy. I works nice. They have other colors, and I am sure you can get it other places, as welll

    Thanks meow, that looks just like what I'm looking for! Hey, I have family in Coquille and Bandon! Thinking of moving to the area.

    I highly recommend Lakota Leathers straps. They offer my fav Bison leather which is supple, strong and durable. One end has a slot to feed the strap through to make a loop for F-style OM's and mandos. Both ends have the usual "keyhole" slot as well. Great strap.

    Another big fan of Lakota Leathers. I probably have about 10 of their straps on mandolins, a mandola, octave, resonator, mandocello, banjolin, guitars and ukulele. Go here and scroll down.

    I have a couple of Lakota straps, as well. Very nice.
