Your cart is empty. The Simple Sling™ from Neotech offers a great compact alternative to a traditional ukulele/guitar strap. The cross-chest design gives added stability when standing or sitting as it can be adjusted horizontally on the body as well as vertically. This gives the musician much more control than the neck-version alternatives. It is ideally suited for instruments of various sizes in any playing position. From ukuleles and mandolins to classical and flamenco guitars, the Simple Sling™ can be adjusted to fit in the playing position that's just right for you!
The Simple Sling™ features a custom felt-lined hook with rounded edges to protect your instrument's finish. It incorporates a smooth herringbone weave 3/4” nylon webbing which easily adjusts in the hardware and doesn't cause abrasion to your shirt or jacket. This combination of features gives the strap a real custom fit and look in a streamlined design. As it's a compact design, there is always room for it in your instrument case or even your pocket. Don't let the name fool you—it may be simple, but it's a keeper!

Ya llevo dos de Amazon en la que me envían algo que no he pedido. Y lo malo es que he tirado el plástico original (lo hice casi deprisa y corriendo), así que creo que no lo voy a poder cambiar y me la como. Me han mandado una correa normal más para mandolina y ukelele que lo que yo pedí; que no me viene mal, no obstante no es lo que quería. A lo mejor puedo hacer algo para que me resulte útil como lo que encargué. Pero ya llevo dos c****** de Amazon en muy poco tiempo, concretamente en dos pedidos seguidos.Me da que es la penúltima vez que me pasa algo así en Amazon. Hay muchas más tiendas en internet.

I was bouncing back and forth as to what ukulele strap I wished to invest in. Well this one was pretty cheap so all I would be out was a few bucks if I didn't like it.After reading some of the lower star reviews where many made statements like how hard it was to figure this thing out I thought "how difficult can it be?"Well I ordered one.....Got it with Amazons fast shipping and waited for the weekend to try it out.Welllll I did get confused fast and wondered "why didn't you listen"?I too at first was lost with flashbacks flooding my brain of the rubiks cube from my childhood (before I learned the secret that the colored stickers pealed off making it much easier to impress my friends who were not as devious)....Opps where was I, oh yea....I took a deep breath and then a couple sips of coffee while looking at the photo from the package.So I put the hook on my uke while it was over the bed just in case. Then I slipped the big loop over my head, put my right arm through the loop, adjusted it so my ukulele was centered with my body. Then started to adjust the ukulele height about what felt pretty good. The strap felt tight across my chest so adjusted the other slip buckle for comfort. Re-adjusted the height of of my uke with the buckle closest to the uke and bam...it was fine.So...Remember to hook up you ukulele first and do it over your bed or couch "just in case" as you make these adjustments. You don't want to drop it!Then....1. Put the big loop over your head2. Put your right arm through the loop3. Center the strap that hold the ukulele to the center of your chest4. Adjust the height of your ukulele to where you wish to play it5. Adjust the buckle for the arm/chest strap for comfort6. Applaud "You just may be smarter than a 1st grader" I am aiming for those 5th graders for I was always told to set high goals for myself!I am so glad my son did not witness my first attempt figuring this thing out.....I know he would tried not to laugh (I am sure I looked like Houdini trying to get out of a straight Jacket). I know my son in spite of his efforts would have "busted a gut". I sure was laughing at me.....but that's OK...ProsMade In The United States (you heard me) that explains why Walmart does not carry this!Cheap $WorksWill not damage you ukulele because not buckles will come in contact with it and the hook is well padded.Provided a massive sense of accomplishment for me when I figure it out.Now that this is adjusted just right for me....easy to use.ConsCheap (nothing fancy) but it will do the trickLack of directions (even goofy direction like mine would have helped others like me)Now I am going to try to figure out these Velcro shoes my kids got me.....they look complicated! It took me almost 6 years to figure out ones with shoe laces.

This product is probably very good for Guitars but the hook is much too thick for a Ukulele. Although the inside of the hook is padded, the outside of the hook will scratch the top of a Ukulele when pushing it between the soundboard and strings!

I use this for a classical guitar... and it is far more comfortable and the guitar is more playable than I expected it would be. I spent some time playing guitar in the stores with all of the classical straps that I could find, and I think that this is by far the best. Because this sling puts the weight on your shoulder and on not your neck. And also because the side strap (the part that goes under your arm when you get it adjusted right) is better at pulling the instrument into a position that is stable and accessable. Its worth taking some time to experiment with the adjustments, and when you find the sweet spot you will know it. I'm a guy and I could see where shape and gender might matter here. Give them bonus points for the price.Overall, I think you have to have reasonable expectations - no strap or sling is going to hold it still and free your hands to move like sitting with a footstool will. I respect and would understand any player that hated straps. But I can use this one. And I may try it with some other guitars - because the standard strap buttons on an accoustic aren't perfect either, I have a one in particular that tends to slip around when I wear certain shirts.

Ukulele straps are a rare thing and I've yet to find the perfect one. This one gets close. Not all uke players use straps, some do and some don't. Purists say not to use one and that using one makes you look lazy or inexperienced. However I have two acoustic-electric ukes and they are heavier than the non-electrified ones the purists use. I've found that using a strap on my electric ukes helps with right arm fatigue from clutching the thing. A preamp and battery adds a surprising amount of weight percentage wise to a uke when compared to a guitar. This Neotech strap frees me up to worry about my strumming and fingering techniques more and dropping the instrument less.There is another device called a Uke Leash that also works well. It ties onto the headstock. I like this Neotech better because even though the instrument isn't balanced perfectly, it is balanced better than with the Uke Leash. The Uke Leash is easier to get on and off my body so it has some advantage over the Neotech Simple Sling.This Neotech Simple Sling soundhole clip strap works on my Concert and Tenor ukes equally well, but I have to adjust it some when switching it between the two.The wide clip is felt lined and it does not scratch the instrument. I don't know how long this felt lasts but it seems well attached. This strap should work fine on any number of various stringed instruments.You have to use reasonable care with a soundhole clip strap on a ukulele or you can damage the top by jerking down on the instrument. The clip on the Neotech Sling is wider than most I've seen and this extra width reduces, but does not completely eliminate, that risk. The wider clip spreads the stress out. I've seen other soundhole clip straps with much narrower clips and I'm afraid to try them on a ukulele. I like this one with the wide clip and will keep it.The Uke Leash type strap that ties on the headstock still requires full right arm pressure to hold the instrument in place, so I like this Neotech soundhole clip device better.The only thing I don't like about it is putting it on is a little clumsy when compared to a traditional guitar strap. But once on it is great! You look a little dorky slipping your arm into it and then over your head and you can't do it with a hat on. It gets easier the more you do it.I'd buy the Neotech Simple Sling again. I recommend it to electric ukelele players who want to use a strap but don't want to drill holes for strap buttons on their ukes. Just put it on in private because you look dorky putting it on.
