I received an EleUke for Christmas and have been trying to figure out how to best put a strap on it. If you have suggestions let me know. Here are my thoughts so far…
It has the amplifier jack on the end which serves as a strap pin. I bought strap pins to put on the fretboard end as I’ve done for other ukuleles but can’t figure out a good place to put it. It is a cut out so I don’t want to interfere with reaching the highest frets. The body is much flatter than an acoustic thus there is not a ‘perpendicular surface’ or flat area away from the body as there is on an acoustic. I could put the pin behind the head below the gears but this is pretty thin. Don’t want to do any damage to the uke. I tried tying the strap on at the fret nut but the strap interferes with playing. I’m considering tying it between the gears but I don’t like the idea or look.
Looking at other options via Googling I ran across recommendations for the Uke Leash. I’m considering purchasing one of these. The new “uke button strap adapter’ is useful. Here is a demonstration video on using the adapter:
