dAndrea 1312 Banjo Strap

The strap itself is fine - solid, attractive, comfortable enough as banjos aren't overly heavy.

I picked this strap over others because I thought the clips would make it more practical and solid (no risk of knots slipping or thin cord wearing out and breaking). Instead the clips feel flimsy and I'm concerned they'll break one day, while the clip is hard enough to open that it's tricky to get onto the mounting points yet also doesn't fit on the tension rods or other hardware for an alternative mounting. I ended up just preferring to not use the strap and play seated, and in future I'll likely replace the clips with laces or something else.

Strap is easy to adjust and holds its length well when set. It is wide enough to be comfortable to wear, stitching pattern is attractive and seems of good quality without any signs of fraying.

Unfortunately the strap is badly let down by the chunky plastic clips which look and feel cheap. They are also too large to clip onto the tension rods of a banjo so you cannot properly adjust the hanging angle of the instrument by relocating the strap clips around the pot.

Overall it is a serviceable strap and fair value for the price. Removing the horrid plastic clips and replacing them with laces or cords makes it better and more personal!
