I know this is going to wind up being a dumb question but how does the Webb strap connect at the rear of the dobro? All I see is a thin cord loop. The neck end is obvious, but the rear one has me stumped.

| If it works like the Webb guitar strap I had, you hook the loop over the strap pin and then sort of crank the end of the strap around so that the loop twists tight to the pin. |

Lynn,
Thats such a small loop! Can it be trusted with a $2500 dollar Dobro? What a crazy setup for a fifty dollar strap!

Hey John, I have the 3" Webb strap, and I am pretty sure the attachment is the same...??? Mine has a "button-hole" like any regurlar strap to attach to the endpin, and as far as I knew the loop was to attach your lead to if you were using a pickup?
Does your strap not have the buttonhole to attach to the endpin??
I wanted extra security so I installed a schaller straplock at the endpin...I haven't worried about the guitar falling since then!

| I wouldn't trust it. I've got Schaller strap locks on my Poff straps. |

The Webb strap has a slit for a standard button. Look a couple of inches above the "safety loop".
Another vote for Schaller strap locks. All of our guitars have them.

Thanks Howard,
Being a new strap the slot is barely visible.
What is the function of the safety loop?
And what is a Schaller strap lock? Sounds like I need one.
