Thanks. I'd add that I aim for halfway along the seam between the two side pieces and draw a cross with a pencil on some masking tape to give me a target to aim for with the drill.

What do you do if there is no block?

Find another option that doesn’t require strap pegs unfortunately. There are a few.

I had to use a 1/8" bit, it was more difficult to drive screw home on the KALA Travel Ukulele?

I’ve been buying some from these folks, they are a little smaller than the guitar ones. www.etsy.com/shop/NuovoDesign?campaign_label=epp_buyer_shipping_confirmation_treatment_recs&email_sent=1678543363&euid=AGsO1-5LtJPuwB-n-X4fws7RnJd1&eaid=79615346&x_eaid=8de9d2ea3a

Hi, what would you recommend for a National resonator ukulele please? Concert size. Thank you 😊

Do you mean a metal one or a wooden one? If it’s the wood one, just pick out some buttons from www.stewmac.com. If it’s metal, I’m not sure how to drill for that.

Can I still install a strap button on the bottom if there’s no wood block backing?

You can try, but it might rip out and badly damage the instrument.

@@beansproutmusicalinstruments It’s a cheap ukulele, but it’s a gift (for a 10-year old). I figure the strap will be very helpful for her, but I’m concerned about it getting torn out. I guess I’ll give it a shot…

If it’s truly a cheapo, then I might consider putting a ball of epoxy inside the hole, to create a bit more for the threads to hold to inside the uke.
