One of our first customers who helped us so much with on-line presence, gave us this statement to share:
"Gayle Winde makes the best straps I've ever tried. Their ergonomics fit your body perfectly, and it makes a huge difference! I've had one for a year and it's amazing. I don't really need another strap, but this one is so perfect I'm getting another for fear that she may stop making them someday. The best strap you'll ever use with your instrument." Jim Soloway, Owner of Soloway Guitars~~~ www.solowayguitars.com ~~~ Portland, Or.
"I recently took delivery of a Gayle Winde Guitar strap that sent all my other high end straps to the emporium. I've owned a number of Moody and ElDorado straps and while they are both very nice, The Gayle Winde simply surpasses them in both functionality / design, as well as appearance and feel. The design of the strap itself allows it to hug your shoulder / body better. I have a couple herniated discs in my neck that no longer bother me due to Gayle's strap. I am now in the process of designing my next strap with her." Lou Vena~~~Chicago
"Gayle, the strap you made me is...Outrageous...Amazing...It takes the weight of a multi stringed bass and shifts the mass sooo much I could play for hours with no pain." Lawrence Hightower~~~Tacoma, Wa.
"I put it on a heavy P-bass. I cannot believe the shape and softness of this strap. My guitar has become part of my body. I love it as much as a pair of old boots. I don't wanna wear anything else." Gunter Nezhoda~~~Bassist for Leslie West
"I love the strap. All straps are not created equal and you have proven it." Jauqo-III-X~~~Chicago
"I used the strap this weekend and I cannot believe the difference it made. It was almost as if the Les Paul lost a couple pounds and it just "sits" very nicely on my shoulder now. I can see why the measurements were so critical. My back and shoulder didn't hurt at the end of the night as it normally does, so this was definately worth-while investment. I definately want ergo straps for my Strats..." Terry Davis
"...the strap is fabulous!!! You took my very sketchy ideas and really brought it to life. I just know everyone's going to be envious of this gorgeous and comfortable accessory." Mitzi Barker~~~Kubiak, Alaska
"I wanted to share the great experience I had in having Gayle Winde design and make my strap. I first heard about Gayle's ergonomic straps here on the Gear Page, I dropped her an email, and the next day she contacted me.......I was after a padded, fixed length, distressed brown leather with a super slick lining....she contacted her leather guy...and it was under way, a stone oil-tan upper, and a glazed lizard lining. She contacted me over the next 2 weeks and kept me up to date with the progress...and then 1 week later it landed on my doorstep in sunny Western Australia. It's here! And what a work of art it is, almost too good to wear. I'm so happy with it, it's what I wanted all along but never found the right design or maker to do it, until now of course. Your service, product and creativity is second to none!" Brad Johnson~~~Carlisle, Western Australia
"OMG Gayle! I just got the straps. They are absolutely gorgeous. I absolutely love both straps. I can't believe how well balanced the (acoustic) strap is, on all three lengths. It is just wonderful The mando strap is almost as well balanced, but I believe it would be very difficult to get any better because it's such a wierdly balanced little instrument. People in Northern California were very impressed with them." Barry McGuire~~~Santa Barbara, Ca.
"Yes...got the strap today. WOWzer! I always appreciate fine crafted work, and I must give you mucho kudos for this...no negative at all. I am impressed with your whole professionalism and your work is magnificent****Thank you so much!" Rikk Casavecchia~~~Sobrante, Ca.
"Gayle is a true professional who loves her avocation! And believe me, it is an AVOCATION. She is dedicated to making the best guitar strap for YOU. She combines art, design and craftsmanship into her work. Gayle created an incredible strap for me! I always feel proud when I wear it. From basic to glitzy, she can make a great strap for you too. The padding and curvature of the strap allow me to take my mind off the discomfort around my shoulders and neck, and concentrate on my guitar playing." Inez Lindsey~~~Seattle
"I got your strap yesterday. In one word: Perfect! Very nice craftsmanship, and feels like an old friend on my shoulder. This is the first strap I can use without a second of "break through". More than expected. If I need another strap, I'll look no further." Bruno Objoie~~~ Famars, France
"The strap is beautiful! Joe loves it and so do I!! It fits him perfectly and is really comfortable. Thanks again. It was a pleasure working with you.
Erin DeClercque~~~Portland, Or.
"I just wanted to let you know that I used your strap today with my heaviest guitar I own and I have to say this is by far the most comfortable strap I've ever had the pleasure to use in over 20+ years of playing guitar. The width, shape, length and material you used are perfect. The only problem I now have is that I need to replace some of my other straps with yours". Russ Creech---Olympia, Wa.
"Outstanding! The design, color and texture of the leathers you chose on these straps is perfect and I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with the way these turned out. Thanks again for making such great straps for me". Russ Creech---Olympia, Wa
"I got my strap yesterday and I'm extremely happy with it! It looks great and feels great and it's everything I hoped it would be! Thanks for a wonderful job!"
Dave Faruta---Garden Grove, Ca.
