Each of my instruments, whether guitars, mandolins, banjos or mountain dulcimers has its own strap (yes, I play mountain dulcimer standing up.)
As you might expect, I've got a number of different straps from a number of different vendors. But my favorites are the padded garment leather straps from Levy's Leathers that I first discovered during a visit to a Vancouver, British Columbia music store in 1998.
Levy's Leathers straps have since become widely available in the United States, but they were new to me then.
Anyway, I've got six or eight of these straps, at least. They're incredibly comfortable, and extremely well-made
Levy's Leathers also makes some fancier versions of this padded strap, at an additional cost (naturally.) But the simpler one and two color versions of the basic padded strap are sufficient for my use, and less visually distracting, as well.
I don't need a strap with fancy leather tooling and my name in rhinestones spelling out "
W A D E B O Y" - just plain leather works fine for me.
