Thread: Leather strap for case

  1. #1

    Leather strap for case

    As I stated in my double bell euphonium thread, my case has a tied plastic bag for a handle (the leather strap is long gone). While the bag surprisingly does a serviceable job, I'd prefer to use something a little more trustworthy. It's the original case, so would like to fix this one. Can anyone recommend somewhere to find a leather (or other similar material) strap?

    Thanks!

    You might go for something like this:

    Universal leather case handle

    (If you scroll down the page there will probably be suggestions for other types as well)

  3. These come in regular and heavy duty versions. They work great as permanent replacement handles and look nice as well! Of course the anchors need to still be on the case to attach it to. I use one as a replacement handle for one of my Euph cases. I got the heavy duty one (has metal reinforcement under the strap) but I think the regular would have done just fine. I bought it from here but not sure if it's the best price --

    I ordered this one. It came in the mail today and works great! Thanks so much!

  5. You're welcome! Much classier than a plastic bag
