Drawings for a standard leather strap are shown on page 16 of the Hurdy-gurdy Method by D & M Muskett. Measure your girth and take your instrument and drawing to a saddle maker or other leather worker. The leather will be hard and firm when new but you may soften it with a little neat’s-foot oil. If, after many years, the leather becomes too soft you can put a stitch across the slot. MP

- Locking, leather HG strap suggestions? [1 Update]
Norm Sohl <no...@sohl.com> Oct 16 08:41PM -0700 ^
I've just purchased an instrument (that one Mike Saunders was talking
about a month or so ago), and am getting equipped for regular
playing. I've had instruments fall before, and am looking for
recommendations for locking straps that work well for HG. I've
noticed pictures of some nice (custom?) leather straps that go well
with historically styled instruments, and would be interested in
suggestions for them too. I'll probably be getting two, so that I can
play standing up. Any thoughts? I've seen the straps from lock-it,
which are OK but expensive. Any better ideas?
Thanks in advance,
--Norm Sohl
