Slinger Banjo Strap

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.
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.
