Here's a way to attach a strap to a mandolin headstock. Works with A-style or F-style instruments, as well as guitars, dobros, or anything else with a headstock. Many of these instruments don't have a second strap button. On A-style mandolins, you can also attach the strap underneath the fretboard extension, and on F-styles, you can attach the strap to the scroll. But I prefer the headstock mounting point, called "cowboy style", because I think it gives better control when playing.
