Well kids it looks like my experiment didn't work out.  Boy was that a waste of money oh well live and learn. The idea was to find a nice streamlined solution to be able to snap a guitar strap on and off smoothly, without a bulky solution and be able to plug in an amplifier Jack. Tried the Musicnomad acousti-lok strap lock adapter output jack. Which just doesn't work. The distance between the output Jack and the button is too close so it interferes when trying to plug the amplifier Jack in and out of the instrument. The Musicnomad was an interesting design and I had big hopes for it to work but they just don't give you enough space. Back to the drawing board I guess I'll just have to live with the old way. Just thought I'd post this so if you were thinking of going in that direction I would rethink it.Before you throw away some money.

My original quick release strap was the one from Folk roots it's okay but a bit bulky and you cannot interchange it with other dulcimers. so I decided to upgrade and add a little bling and spice to my life. Decided to upgrade to the Dunlop Straplok 

System, So I can use any Guitar strap. And Levts Have some great patterns hard to choose just one.  Also Ernie’s not too bad, but I think I'm leaning towards the Levts brand.

The good thing about adding the Dunlop Straplok System is you can use one strap and go from one instrument to the other great design love it I just thought I'd throw this out for those who are interested in using guitar straps that are easy to switch back and forth Very streamline system not bulky at all I give it two thumbs up. Just thought I'd share for those who are interested
