strap button install tutorial

[ukulelelearner]

how did you drill it through the bottom of the uke? is there excess screw on the inside of the uke?

[Rinchenuker]

Nice job and thanks. Gives me the courage to try it!

[AyeeItsDiana]

Thanks for this tutorial ! It really helped a lot ;D

[revmarccooper]

Thank you excellent video, copied exactly, worked perfectly!

[LsBaba]

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you.

(and those are some cool tattoos)

[creationcreators]

Could I just glue the button on?

[nukedoc619]

@creationcreators no. if you use a strong enough glue, it will eventually fall off, taking some of the finish of your instrument with it.

[TheChecheng]

i dont know that triads also play uke? :D

[TheWhistler619]

are you serious VIN? i know who you are! JDS

[nukedoc619]

@TheWhistler619 damn dude, youre late. this was three years and a full head of hair ago.

[butterfly12962]

Thanks for creating this video. Your presentation is very detailed and thorough. Visual instructions for such delicate work is much more helpful than reading instructions on eHow. I can now attach the strap pins with confidence.

I crocheted a uke strap and can't wait to attach it to my uke and show it off.

[nukedoc619]

@butterfly12962 awesome. would love to see a pic of your strap. i made a strap out of some old belts. ill show it on my next video.

[raresparky]

Thanks Nukedoc! Just what I needed.

[dunhillpallmall]

I used your tips for a guitar stro button and worked out great. Thanks

[chicago911susy]

Thanks nukedoc, that worked wonderfully. I had been afraid to try, but your instruction was wonderful.

[tobinsuke]

Thank you. I work as much with wood as with the ukulele (wanted to see WHERE to install the buttons) and I can tell you that you covered it all, and have probably helped many to avoid common drill/screw errors. Good for you!

[xkillerkiwi666x]

such a big help.. thank you so much!!

[adamstevensbass]

SO helpful! just purchased a U-bass ukulele from a local shop in Kona, Hawaii and it didn't come with strap buttons so I look forward to following these instructions and getting them installed when I get home! thanks for being so thorough man!!

[filmtress]

Thanks. Just what the doctor ordered. Good to understand why the bit can be too skinny or to thick. I was just getting ready to drill my guitar strap hole with a thinner bit but I saw your vid. Whew! I don't want cracked/stripped wood. Thanks.

[0hlucy]

I'm way to scared to do this to my uke. I know i would totally ruin it when I do it.

[Jackcox1996]

im totally goner try this out on my oldest damaged ukulele first :D

[scruss0]

it's the background music that makes it ...

[emobloom]

Excellent video, thanks :)

[cuatrista1969]

thanx i have a puerto rican cuatro similar to a ukalele it has 10 strings do you know how to install pickups

[0goku]

hi im just wondering is a Lanikai LU-21C Concert Ukulele  better than a mahalo Les Paul ukulele?

[Jackcox1996]

ogoku any llanikai is better than any maholo

[0goku]

would it work on like an electric acoustic ukulele like a Les Paul or or sort? thx and good video easy to fallow

[nukedoc619]

look at the area where you would put the bottom strap button. if it looks like an area where two pieces of wood are meeting each other then there is a bracing underneath. you will be able to install a strap button there.

[rlbenoitartist]

@nukedoc619 I did it, I love the strap now, great tutorial, if you follow the instructions there is no problem. Just be careful. Also I found strap buttons on Amazon for a couple of bucks that come with washers, Mighty Mite Brand. I have a cheap Mahalo Uke, I am just learning, I did buy some D'Addario Strings to improve the sound though. It should work for the mean time. I play guitar so I am learning the Uke. Have Fun. Aloha.

[iamjonprentice]

@0goku Hey there, I know it was a while ago, but did you manage to mount the button on the Les Paul? I'm getting one at christmas, and I don't want to go drilling into the electrics..

[dogboy22]

Great tutorial. Worked like a charm!

[XORBob]

Dude, are you in an elevator? That music is too much.

[Bostown123]

thanks man! great tutorial

[SaveUsMusic]

Great job on how to install the strap button. You helped me a lot. Thanks :-)

[xxjasondanielxx]

Dude! Thank you sooo much! I put a strap on both my ukes thanks to you! :D

[TheHeartOfARobot]

Hey do you remember the chords for the little bit you played in the beggining?

[nukedoc619]

A, Bm, C#m

[xWarrior0fGodx]

what kind of shop would i have to go to in order to get this done? would a standard music shop be alright?

[nukedoc619]

pretty much any shop that does setup and minor repairs can install one.

[idkkero999]

excellent vid, dude!

[whitestripebuzz]

killer tattoos dude.

[tojensen2]

thanks! I'm adding my strap buttons right now!

[jbloverforeva25]

can it work in any guitar?

like acoustic.. not a ukulele?

[nukedoc619]

yeah it will work on a guitar. but if you are not good with tools, i would have someone else do it for you. otherwise good luck!

[gyounan84]

very nice, thanks man

[RstarVersion151]

Thats Cool...

[boofstar93]

could you do this exactly the same with an acoustic guitar??? cant find any other videos saying you can n cant be bothered paying to get it done when i can do it myself. someone help. can it be done???

[nukedoc619]

yes you can.

[GULRUDJ]

Get a shop to do it--you don't want to jack your stuff up.

[nukedoc619]

yah i guess i should have been more specific about who does it. if you suck at using tools, then bring it to a shop. but if you have a steady hand, and know your way around a tool box and woodwork, you should be fine. i know within myself that i can do it as good, if not better, than a shop. so i do. and ive installed these on acoustic and electric guitars as well.

[jcneville]

Very helpful video - You did a real nice job on the instructions! Thanks! jcneville

[chicagoer13]

you are cool as hell man

[ridiculousbass]

i love the elevator music

[DImages56]

this is really cool. so going to do this. by the way where did you get your scratch protectors from??? thanks

[nukedoc619]

i made them. i used linoleum floor tiles. not the most weight saving method. and kinda dampened the acoustic sound. but they work. and they look cool! hahaa

[CaptainOfUke]

Arvin, thanks for the tip. I used this advice and now have a strap button on my tenor that I take to Jam sessions. :)

[krabbers]

superb video, easy to watch and follow

excellent choice of backing music ,its made me want to go shopping

[Didgeman80]

Dude, your video was cool! It was well put together and edited and the explanation was thorough. The only catch with strap pins is that some companies may not honor a warranty if you drill and add one.....I know, it's lame but it's true :)

Your choice of shirt and tatts are cool, very rock star!!

Peace :)

[Merit25]

Your choice of background music playing against the video of your tattoos and and the wife-beater tee-shirt made for a VERY interesting show.

I kept expecting you to says, "Do it like this or I will find you and kick you butt!"

Thanks for the lesson!

[UkuleleJunkieJay]
