PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING
I have taken the time to list the specific length of my straps. It is up to those who order to know the length you need. If your strap needs to be longer than my standard length it falls upon you to know before ordering what length you need. There is an ADDITIONAL charge if the leather portion exceeds 3 inches beyond the standard 37 inches. Length can be determined by using any means you have available, ie: tape measure, older strap, etc. I can no longer remake straps that are too short due to customer negligence.
All straps are custom order and I DO NOT sell returned straps. It is YOUR responsubility to do with them what you will. An identical stap can be made but at the normal prices listed.
ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
Photos of all the current designs can be found under the "Design" Tab. Each photo is numbered. If you see a design you'd like to order, here's what you do, Tell me in an email (and PLEASE follow it up again with your payment) the photo shows the design you want. This is done by 1) picking the NUMBER of that photo (1-12) that has the design you want to order. 2) then,by counting DOWN from the TOP of that photo determine the number of the design. (for example, Photo #2, design #3). Your check should be made payable to: Alan Gelman, and should be mailed to the address you see below. Your order should include your email address, mailing address CLEARLY WRITTEN AND the strap you want using the example given above. If there are any questions please email me, that's what I'm here for.
PS: The colors you see in these designs were MY choice but they don't have to be YOUR choice. Many but not ALL can be dyed to colors that you prefer. If you email me BEFORE you order, I will tell you if the design and color(s) you want can be matched up.
PPS: WHEN PLACING YOUR ORDER, please let me know if this is for an A-style mandolin as they require a slightly longer cord.
NOTE: ALTHOUGH COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS WILL REACH ME USING THIS LINK, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AS IT IT OFTEN EASIER TO REPLY DIRECTLY TO YOU RATHER THAN USING THIS FORUM.

I received my mandolin strap today and it is a beauty. Better than I expected! The quality of the workmanship is the best. The leather and tooling are superb. The strap exceeded my expectations.
Kristen Lindstrom
Would you be able to make a strap for a mandola? Thanks, Kristen
Rick Pardue
How much for a plain brown strap with no design on it anywhere with the edges burnished.
Alan
As described the strap would be $50+shipping
Thanks for asking-
Josh Ungar
I assume the standard 37" does not include the loop for the F style mandolin. My strap I currently have is 37' plus a few inches for the loop. I want to make sure I order the right size. Thank you!
Brian Hull
I am ordering a strap. What is average turn around time?
JD
I would like the Martry Stewart strap. Would you be able to inscribe the letters "JD" like you did "Marty". My Mandolin is a F frame and F hole w/scroll.

I have tried a ton of straps and I think that one of your straps is just what I am looking for. Are they soft and pliable?

What is your current lead time on getting straps shipped out, thanks!

In most cases the wait time is determined by # of standing orders , as they are taken by the date they arrive. Because my shoulder needs time to rest no orders taken till worked on till late June
