The strap is really comfortable and supportive too and easily adjustable in case you use different lengths when sitting down and standing up. Ross Nickerson All you have to do is thread the loops through the brackets, pass the side release buckles through the opening and reattach to the main strap. This creates a secure hold which is a snap to attach! |

The Super Banjo Strap
This is a great design, easy to take on and off. The strap will support the weight of the banjo making it easier to practice. These straps will work on both the heavier 24 bracket banjos and the many lower priced designs because it's easy to put the nylon loop through the smallest of clearance between the brackets. These straps
are the best! They are really comfortable and make the banjo feel lighter and
we all know how important that is. They feature a very comfortable shoulder pad,
heavy duty nylon, and best of all, detachable clips. No more cramming the strap
into the case. Just take it off. I highly
recommend these straps and they are money back guaranteed if you're not satisfied with it. Ross Nickerson .

Cloth Strap (CS)
This strap works great on lighter model banjos or banjos without enough space under the hooks for a cradle strap. It uses leather tabs with a plastic bolt and nut to attached the strap to the banjo brackets. The leather tabs are the best way to attach a lower priced nylon or cloth banjo strap . Most music stores carry cheap straps that have metal clips that make noise and can scratch the wood and hardware on the banjo.

Slinger Strap
Ric Scoles came up with the design of the Slinger strap because there wasn't’t a strap on the market at the time that he really liked. Rick wanted a strap that gave a little more support for his back and was a little wider so it would not cut into his shoulders. The initial design was just a loop with the leather notched to fit the banjo. To make it ride a little flatter, he added an angle to make it fit more snugly against the back. Doing so created a simple strap with a revolutionary approach to holding the instrument in place.
Just looking at it, you wouldn't’ think it should work as well as it does, but Ric has used this system for twenty years and the banjo has always been safe.
Made in America It gives very balanced, comfortable support to the back and shoulders without any straightjacket-style strapping. The Slinger is adjustable and fits any brand of resonator banjo.
There is no metal hardware to scratch your banjo. The strap does not stress the banjo or banjo hardware. The strap can be easily and quickly switched between multiple banjoes, even during live performances. You only need one strap for multiple banjoes, may be the last strap you ever need. The strap is comfortable and easy to use, and very portable. The strap fits into your case along with your banjo.
The fact that the strap is designed to hold the instrument using gravity, at an angle to the body, is the real secret to why this design works so well. In addition to helping the appearance and posture of the player, it provides added comfort and balance by drawing the banjo closer to the body.
We even provide added ties if you feel them necessary, but the beauty of this design is that gravity is what is holding the banjo; no hardware (metal-to-metal) is necessary the heavier the banjo, the better.

National Thumbpick and a pair of Cobalt Coated Picks is all you need to get started picking the 5-string banjo.
Cobalt Nick Picks at Banjo Teacher.com
Cobalt coated special designed custom picks designed for solid tone, comfort, and speed. Bob Perry custom made these picks for me by my specifications. They fit back further on your finger like I requested for more comfort and power. The no hole design avoids those finger through the hole sores and more importantly gives the pick more mass for a thicker, fatter tone.

This brand new pick pouch for holding you banjo thumb and finger picks is the best one I've seen yet. It's big enough to not have to cram you fingerpicks in it and it has the little metal hinges that keep in rigid when you open and close it. It's a nice accessory like a wallet or a key case.
Comfort Picks This is the most comfortable thumbpick I've ever used. They sound good and don't come loose as you might suspect. This is a great product that could be used in any situation. I like to use them when I'm practicing and I've just begun performng with them, they cause a lot less fatigue.
