Abstract
An apparatus for holding a musical instrument has a strap that is secured at a first end to a base of the instrument by magnetism. An opposite second end is secured around a neck of the instrument by any of various ways. If available, an overall length of the strap is adjusted. The first end of the strap is secured to the base of the instrument by the use of one or more magnets disposed on one side of a planar rear surface of the base and by a ferric or steel member disposed on an opposite side of the rear surface. Magnetic attraction pinches and secures the magnets and steel member in position until urged apart. Fabric covering around the magnets and steel member prevent damage. The magnets or, alternately, the steel member are inserted through a sound hole into an interior of the instrument base.
