Sean,
I'd love to see a picture of that if you can point at one?
Anyone else having pictures to go with their various strap configurations, feel
free to chime in.

Sean's suggestion was very useful ,that is having two points of
contact on the pegbox.
With two cords from a guitar strap attached to these, there is an extra
level of stability and as he says, no rotating.
Many thanks
Hi lute world -
I was hearing a lot of lutes on the radio Sunday morning, so I thought I
would see if there was a “National Lute Day”. When I googled it I got a lot of
hits for NATIONAL BE LATE FOR SOMETHING DAY - September 5.

The force from the strap (to some extent) counters the force from the
strings. The strings pull the pegbox in one direction, and
the strap pulls it in more-or-less the opposite direction, so there
is a cancellation effect.
A strap at the pegbox would be much worse if it pulled in

the line of the neck (to the bridge). If you were looking straight at the
belly, the strings would pull away to the left, to the rear and at an acute
angle to the neck. The strings, after they bend
I always use a nice screw to strengthen the pegbox to neck joint as this is the

When I was searching the ASU library for the Welde lute book, I got a

I have a diagram how to tie the strap so there would be no rotation -
