ABSTRACT:
One strap supports a fraction of the banjo weight from the banjo player's waist or hips. This strap is attached to the banjo at the two sides of the banjo resonator and passes around the player's torso. Two other straps support the remainder of the banjo weight from the player's shoulders. The weight carried by the shoulders is distributed in approximately equal fractions between the two shoulders. The shoulder straps are coupled in common to the top of the banjo resonator, pass respectively over the player's two shoulders and behind the player's back, and are there connected together. Two additional features are provided to permit the player to adjust the distribution of weight as between the player's torso and shoulders: (1) the torso strap and the shoulder straps are interconnected behind the player's back, and (2) the connection between the shoulder straps and the top of the resonator is through an adjustable linkage. The player controls the weight distribution by adjusting the linkage.
