Slinger Banjo Strap
Ric Scoles came up with the design of the Slinger strap because there wasn't’t a strap on the market at the time that he really liked. Rick wanted a strap that gave a little more support for his back and was a little wider so it would not cut into his shoulders. The initial design was just a loop with the leather notched to fit the banjo. To make it ride a little flatter, he added an angle to make it fit more snugly against the back. Doing so created a simple strap with a revolutionary approach to holding the instrument in place.
Just looking at it, you wouldn't’ think it should work as well as it does, but Ric has used this system for twenty years and the banjo has always been safe.
Made in America It gives very balanced, comfortable support to the back and shoulders without any straightjacket-style strapping. The Slinger is adjustable and fits any brand of resonator banjo.
There is no metal hardware to scratch your banjo. The strap does not stress the banjo or banjo hardware. The strap can be easily and quickly switched between multiple banjos, even during live performances. You only need one strap for multiple banjos, may be the last strap you ever need. The strap is comfortable and easy to use, and very portable. The strap fits into your case along with your banjo.
The fact that the strap is designed to hold the instrument using gravity, at an angle to the body, is the real secret to why this design works so well. In addition to helping the appearance and posture of the player, it provides added comfort and balance by drawing the banjo closer to the body.
We even provide added ties if you feel them necessary, but the beauty of this design is that gravity is what is holding the banjo; no hardware (metal-to-metal) is necessary the heavier the banjo, the better.

Cobalt Nick Picks at Banjo Teacher.com
Cobalt coated special designed custom picks designed for solid tone, comfort, and speed. Bob Perry custom made these picks for me by my specifications. They fit back further on your finger like I requested for more comfort and power. The no hole design avoids those finger through the hole sores and more importantly gives the pick more mass for a thicker, fatter tone.

This brand new pick pouch for holding you banjo thumb and finger picks is the best one I've seen yet. It's big enough to not have to cram you fingerpicks in it and it has the little metal hinges that keep in rigid when you open and close it. It's a nice accessory like a wallet or a key case.
Comfort Picks This is the most comfortable thumbpick I've ever used. They sound good and don't come loose as you might suspect. This is a great product that could be used in any situation. I like to use them when I'm practicing and I've just begun performng with them, they cause a lot less fatigue.
