Banjo Strap Hook - My Design

Recommended Posts

I thought that some of you might like to see the banjo strap hook I designed. The player insisted on a snap and rather than use the mass market cheapies I decided to take another route. I have used it on three straps now. The players love it.

I use 3/32" brass rod, bend it to shape, make up a pigskin loop to "hang" the hook inside the leather turn-over, glue it up and stitch. That hook ain't going nowhere!

It's a labour intensive solution but it works and looks great!
