Guitar Strap for Flamenco
|
|
|
Hi Everyone, I have a physical problem that is worsened by sitting for long periods of time. I have tried various seated positions ... leg crossed over, not crossed over, foot stool, no foot stool, etc, but they are all bad. Can someone recommend a strap that will allow me to hold the guitar in a reasonably good position standing up, but that requires no holes and will not damage the guitar's surface? A brief Google search shows me there are a number of different ones available, but I am hoping some forum members can speak from experience. Thanks, Robert

Thanks, Robert I once had a contraption gifted to me that I gave to a student. A rubber covered "S" shaped large metal rod such that standing, the top part over the right shoulder and the bottom part supported the lower waist of the guitar...you need to be touching the guitar with your hand to keep it from falling neck side but it was pretty comfortable for standing with the nice guitar you dont' want to drill. Seemed simple to make of you bend the metal and then glue or sleeve on some protective felt or rubber to the contact points.
