Lakota Leather 2 inch or 3 inch Non Cradle Strap
Lakota Leather Banjo Straps - Non Cradle
Lakota Leather Banjo Straps - Made in the USA of soft comfortable American raised Bison leather.
Our 'non-cradle' banjo straps were designed for the player who doesn't like a 'cradle' strap. The non cradle straps attach to your banjo by utilizing two 'tail -sections' of bison leather. These two 'tail sections' are 3/4" wide and are at both ends of the main body of the strap.
These individually loop around a single tension hook of your choosing and are secured back to themselves by a Chicago screw (or a piece of leather lace at your request). A lot of folks ask us why they are more expensive than our standard "cradle" strap. The answer is because two 'tail sections' are used when making these straps instead of one.
These straps are made of the same soft luxurious Bison hide as our standard cradle straps and will provide a lifetime of use!

Type of banjo this strap fits
This CRADLE leather Lakota banjo strap works for heavier bluegrass banjos with a flathead tone ring and one piece flange and resonator. It does not fit most open back banjos or lighter weight banjos with resonators that do not have a one piece flange and have a smaller space between the head brackets for the strap to fit into.
For banjos with the smaller space to attach a strap to use this leather banjo strap for open back banjos
Instructions on where to attach the Lakota NON Cradle strap on your banjo
- Wrap the strap around the second bracket BELOW the heel of the neck, and attach it there.
- Next Slip it behind the tailpiece and wrap it around the second bracket BELOW the tailpiece. This is the side you adjust the length on.
Adjusting the Length
- To adjust the length you choose one of the holes to attach the two sided "Chicago" screw through, depending on how long or short you want it.
- Remember to adjust the length of the strap on the side of the strap near the tailpiece.
- The other side, by the heel of the neck, just attach it in the first adjustment hole.

Robin McCollum Sep 3, 2024 | Lakota 3 in. wide non-cradle banjo strap I got the strap and was truly pleased. Super nice piece of American Bison leather. Unsurpassed quality and workmanship. Softest leather you can imagine. Appreciate the fine work the Lakota's are doing. In my opinion, it's pretty neat owning a handmade and American made piece like this. So comfortable it makes me want to play my banjo more. Hooked on Lakota Leather now. Absolutely the best strap I've ever owned. Thanks again and keep up the fine work. |

L Raymond L Aug 4, 2020 | Lakota Leather 3 inch wide NON CRADLE strap is my choice I chose a Lakota Leathers 3 inch wide non cradle strap with my banjo order. I have one of their mandolin straps and love it so onto a Lakota Leathers strap for my banjo. This is a great strap and it is AMERICAN made. Bison is some serious leather and strong and soft at the same time. Comfortable as all get out with a heavy banjo. For me, this is the best choice in a high quality American Made strap. Order a strap for your instrument. Lakota Leathers is the way to go. Do it right the first time. Lakota Leathers all the way. Once you try one you wont want any other strap. Order yours from banjoteacher.com That's what I did. |
