Hi everybody. I just bought my new RK-R80 from Ross Nickerson at Banjoteacher.com. (I am waiting for it now and its killing me.)

I just realized I need to get a new strap. I am coming from the Goodtime world so I will a good strap to support the significantly greater weight. Anybody got any suggestions? I was looking at the Lakotas. 2 inch or 3 inch? Cradle/Not? I understand the 3 in, work great but may be hard to fit in the case.

Any input would be appreciated. If you know of a good non-Lakota strap I would be interested in that too.

Thanks
