The first attempt was to set the strap at both ends of the body with pins at each end. Looping the string end on a "downside peg" seemed too obvious, but it turned out to work. Now I have an extra "strap pin" that I can use somewhere else. BTW, for those looking at the expensive guitar straps, I got a light, and adjustable (and innocuous black) strap for $6.95 at a local store that is probably a franchise (Musician's Workshop). I suggest it is a franchise, and national, as they had their logo on the strap - and that would require volume sales.
