banjo Straps

All Lakota Leathers banjo straps are made from Bison (American Buffalo) leather. Bison leather is incredibly supple, yet will support the heaviest banjo. These straps are very strong yet can be rolled up and tucked away in your case while still attached. You simply must feel one of our buffalo hide straps to appreciate them! These are the softest, most comfortable straps you will use!

Our unique cradle strap features a single “tail” section that completely encircles your banjo’s pot assembly. Each strap has a 36” main body and a 49” long tail section, creating an approximate maximum length of 78” and a minimum length of 57”. These pieces are secured together using two chicago screws. We suggest putting a drop of clear fingernail polish into the female end of the chicago screw once you get it adjusted to where it’s comfortable. This will help further secure the screws.

Special Notes:

Please confirm your banjo is compatible with our cradle strap before purchasing. Reference our install video for additional information. If you determine the cradle strap will not work, or you prefer a different style banjo strap, check out our non-cradle design!

Our non-cradle strap features 2 identical 20” end pieces as well as our 36” main body, creating an approximate maximum length of 57” and a minimum length of 41”.
