dAndrea 1312 Banjo Strap

Very cool product overall.
I bought this strap for my Epiphone MB-100 banjo and it works almost perfectly.
Firstly, it looks cool: I love the color scheme. That and the low price were the reasons I bought it.
As far as comfort goes: yes, it would be more comfortable if it had some type of padding but it doesn't hurt me at all even after hours of continuous playing, so great job on that.

The only thing that could be improved is the connection part between the strap itself and the hook part. It is very rare, but sometimes it comes off and I have to fit it in again. However, this is not a big deal because, as I said, it almost never happens and it only does if I pull it a certain way.

Concluding, unless you are a very professional hardcore player that needs a super sturdy strap that'll have to endure many many hours of playing and carrying around, this one will do perfectly fine.

The strap itself is fine - solid, attractive, comfortable enough as banjos aren't overly heavy.

I picked this strap over others because I thought the clips would make it more practical and solid (no risk of knots slipping or thin cord wearing out and breaking). Instead the clips feel flimsy and I'm concerned they'll break one day, while the clip is hard enough to open that it's tricky to get onto the mounting points yet also doesn't fit on the tension rods or other hardware for an alternative mounting. I ended up just preferring to not use the strap and play seated, and in future I'll likely replace the clips with laces or something else.

Strap is easy to adjust and holds its length well when set. It is wide enough to be comfortable to wear, stitching pattern is attractive and seems of good quality without any signs of fraying.

Unfortunately the strap is badly let down by the chunky plastic clips which look and feel cheap. They are also too large to clip onto the tension rods of a banjo so you cannot properly adjust the hanging angle of the instrument by relocating the strap clips around the pot.

Overall it is a serviceable strap and fair value for the price. Removing the horrid plastic clips and replacing them with laces or cords makes it better and more personal!
