So I have had problems holding my uke so that it stays in my hands and doesn’t start to slide. I would love to put a strap on it and have one that requires a strap pin. I was thinking of getting a fitter piece on the handle, but to get it on a body I would have to put the pin on my beautiful instrument. I have the Luna High Tide series concert ukulele and since it is also electric, I am not sure if the bottom can actually tolerate a screw pin, or if it is smart to do it at all, since I can’t see where the electric cords and other elements are. Or if it just is a no-no to make a hole into your pretty instrument.
Are there different types of pins, other less “invasive” or considered better than others? The pins I ordered from Amazon are huge, really long and the pin itself is big… I wouldn’t want to put anything that big on my uke. But since I am a beginner and learning on my own, I have no idea what is the right thing to do. Help!I’m still new to the uku but I say not to do it cuz if you don’t like it you just ruined ur uku
I am more worried right now about actually having enough structure to do it rather than just liking it, I know I would use it, but I need to find different pins, the ones I got were huge and I do not think they would be appropriate for a uke. But if I used the ones I have right now, yeah, I would not like it. 😀 And I feel my uke would be ruined.
ukulelebobHi,
Saw on ebay some straps for this may be some use to you.
Search ukulele strapsukulelebobnot sure how much use these are for an electric uku
I do have couple straps. One that is hanging just from neck, (came with my soprano) and the other one that needs pins. I wanted to get something that will let you have your hands free, but the pin ones are the only ones I liked. My uke is both acoustic and electric. I only have played acoustic.
