Hi Jim, I usually put 2 small holes in the end of whatever I'm using for a strap (old belt usually) and then use a medium thinnish dead string to connect belt to button with an elaborate tomato knot. Anticipating the nucular flame wars I'll say that gut works better since it holds its shape and doesn't want to back out of its loops. On the other hand, if you play a lot in the rain, nylon or nylgut might be preferable.
I'll send you a photo if you'd like. Sean On Aug 26, 2007, at 11:43 AM, Jim Abraham wrote: > Um, what do you use for a lute strap?
