Small Cork Piano Bridle Strap Set

Complete Set of 90 Bridle Straps with FREE Installation Tool

Replace missing, broken, or deteriorated bridle straps in upright, console, studio, and spinet piano actions.

This complete set includes 90 small cork-style bridle straps (a few extras are included) and is ideal for pianos with smaller-than-average catcher holes.

These straps are designed for hammer butts with a hole through the catcher. If your piano uses catchers without a hole, I recommend our clip-style bridle straps, available separately.


Why Choose This Set?

  • Complete set of 90 small cork-style bridle straps
  • FREE bridle strap insertion tool included
  • Fits upright, console, studio, and spinet piano actions with smaller catcher holes
  • Genuine tapered cork construction
  • Extra straps included
  • Professional technical support from Ragland Piano Company

Choosing the Correct Size

The length of all three cork-style bridle straps is the same. The only difference is the diameter of the cork that fits into the catcher.

Size Cork Diameter Recommended Catcher Hole
Small (This Set) 0.190" – 0.235" Approximately 3/16" to 7/32"
Medium (Most Common) 0.210" – 0.270" Approximately 1/4" (0.250")
Large 0.235" – 0.280" Approximately 9/32"

Hole sizes vary slightly among piano manufacturers. This Small set is intended for pianos with smaller catcher holes that are too tight for our Medium corks.


FREE Bridle Strap Installation Tool

Every set includes our Bridle Strap Insertion Tool at no additional charge.

I've used a tool like this for decades and have never found a reason to purchase one of the expensive aluminum versions. It securely holds the bridle strap during installation, making the job faster, easier, and far less frustrating.


Installation Video

A complete installation video is provided on this page.

If this is your first time replacing bridle straps, I recommend watching the video before beginning. It demonstrates the installation tool and walks through the installation process step by step.
