"Steel Magnolia" Bobby Poff just delivered a strap to me about a week ago. It
cost me all of $165. That came with my initials tooled into the strap for all to
see. When I opened the box from him I was almost overcome by the fumes of
leather, lots of leather. You won't believe the difference between this and
another strap. I don't know what kind of personal rules you have about using
credit but I think this might be one of those times that you might make an
exception. His basic strap is $145. It's $20 more for him to put your initials
on it. You don't have to put Chinese dragons all over it. I dare to think what
Mr. Tim would charge to fix your Scheerhorn if it were damaged in its next fall,
perish the thought. Go to www.rpoffmaker.com today and order a strap. It's
cheap insurance. It is not an indulgence for an instrument whose replacement
cost today is $6000. "Look out Mick, he's got a dobro strap! Nah, love, that's
not a dobro strap, THIS is a dobro strap." Call Bobby today! Do it now, you'll
feel better, honest you will. Your 'horn will thank you.
