Leah Velleman Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I've acquired an old Wheatstone with this "short" style of straps, which are attached on both ends directly to the ends of the hand-rest (unlike the "long" kind, where one end comes all the way up and around and screws into the side of the action box). I'm not sure if this is the right terminology, but hopefully I'm explaining myself... I'd like to get new straps for it. Does anyone sell them pre-made, or will I need to make my own? Don't care either way if they look authentic or elegant — as you can see, the current ones don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Eskin Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 A friend of mine had Bob Tedrow make him a set of straps to his specification (he has big hands). You might want to get in touch with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.elliott Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I usually take a standard hand strap but cut it to suit the instrument. the adjustment 'tail' being at the little finger end of the strap in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
