Strap knob for light weight instruments
I purchased these so as to be able to add a strap knob to my Thomann Guitarlele Standard. The strap knobs are well made and come well packed. The packaging is re-useable which is an added bonus since I only required one strap knob.
The Phillips head screws, that are provided with the strap knobs, are 3mm in diameter and rather short. For a ukulele style instrument or light acoustic guitar they will be fine. On a heavier instrument they would be insufficient.
To install the strap knob, drill a 2mm pilot hole to the appropriate depth. Make sure to drill straight! Lubricate the screw threads with some wax and then screw the strap button and leather washer to the instrument’s body. It is important to use the correct size Phillips screwdriver. Screw heads on these type of screws are notoriously soft and will easily strip if the wrong screwdriver is used.
Pros: Well made knobs, re-useable packaging
Cons: Short screws with Phillips heads. A hex head screw would be better.
In conclusion: An excellent value set of strap knobs for lighter instruments.

Perfect !
Great quality at an affordable price, as all Thomann accessories. This is one of the reasons why I like to shop at Thomanns, there's always bunch of little stuff that I need on daily basis as a working musician. I usually write down whatever comes to mind on a notepad, then when I'm ready to make a bigger purchase I add the notes.
Plus You get suggestions on the website, very useful.
Next time I will order a spare input jack for my electric guitar, you never know !

Perfect solution
It was the perfect solution for what I need.
Long live lasting, using that since 3 years now, and never a problem.

Excellent quality and a fair price
I have two guitars that need strap knob fitting to the neck as they both came with one fitted on the base of the guitar. Nicely machined and obviously strong as made of metal. They also include a piece of felt to act a washer/membrane to protect the wood of the guitar from the metal of the strap knob.

What more could you want?
It's a strap pin.
It pins your strap so you can stand up and face the world like the confident up-standing human that you are. Stop apologizing for your music. Stand up, and command attention!
Say "Days of sit down, I bid thee good day, Sir!" courtesy of a bare few millimeters of sturdy metal, and for a price that would confound even the thriftiest scientician.

Holds strap reliably
One of my sons played an old acoustic guitar at different scout events, but he was always unsatisfied because of the missing possibility of applying a guitar strap. We had enough straps at home, but this old guitar was without any strap button. So I bought the Harley Benton Strap Knob Set for this purpose. It consists of 2 buttons and 2 screws from metal chrome plated and 2 washers from leatherette(?). The mounting is easy, but in such situations you have to prepare it accurate and centre punch and pre-drill the position of the screw hole. So you can avoid small damages, like scrapers on the surface of the guitar. Please don't forget the washers (leather side to button!) and don't overtighten the screws! The plastic packing is clever, because you can open and close it by hand. You don't need any tools like a knife or scissors etc. Bravo Thomann, we can use the packing for a long time and don't have to throw it away! The set has a really good quality, a great price and value and my son is very happy.

Great fit for my Acoustic
I bought these because my Acoustic only had a knob on the body and not the neck. I don't like the tie-on straps. I went with these because they look good, have a nice rubber gasket between the knob and wood and for the price. Very easy to put on and seem to be holding very firmly and hold the strap very well. Would recommend these and if ever I need to use this type of product again, I would buy this type. No complaints.

Good quality easy to fit and lock strap in place
I bought these to fit to The HB Custom Line CLA-15MCE. There a cheap but well made product like most of the HB products. They were easy to fit and hold the strap very securely. Happy with purchase would buy again if necessary.

Handy to keep a set.
It's handy to keep a set of these around if you teach fretted instruments as many people ask you to fit them. These are good and fairly priced.
