hello to you . I'm looking for an old accordion strap. Let me explain: when I started playing the accordion, I had straps with a back ring with 4 belts equipped with 4 metal hooks that allowed me to remove and hang my accordion without help. Here, I have a Roland accordion with comfortable straps still attached to the accordion, with an addition with clips to hold my straps together at the back. If you have this model, please let me know. Thank you in advance. Musically

Same case for me. My Cavagnolo had been modified to accommodate these famous X-shaped straps. They still work. For my FR4 Roland, I simply put a black elastic band (25 mm wide) that my wife sewed onto the straps. It's sewn in such a way that it slides over the straps. This system ensures that the straps stay in place on my shoulders and don't slip or fall off. The only (minor) drawback is that you have to thread your head through the part between the top of the straps and the elastic, but I manage it without a problem.

bonjour . Merci de votre réponse . I found the solution: instead of an elastic band like you put, after adjusting to my comfort, in the back I sewed a leather band 50 mm wide by my shoemaker to prevent the straps from falling off. On the other hand, I put 4 carabiners with rotating heads on the ends of each strap for quicker fastening. Simply attach these to the accordion fasteners. In this way, the set of straps is no longer permanently attached to the accordion. All this brings my first straps with ring and hooks closer together. May this be of use to other accordionists. Good reception Thank you
