Hey, this patent expired today! You are now free to build straps which allow you to play your "guitars, banjos, mandolins and the like" in this manner. (Although as others have pointed out, the patent should have been invalidated because this picture does not depict the stripes.)

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
