Gig bag questions

[humBell]

I clearly do not yet understand the backpack straps on an Altieri.

My initial use of them has the bell far over my head, which would be a totally reasonable choice if i also had a belt and planned to hike cross country.

I will look for a belt next time i use it.

In the meantime i will take a deep breath and resist the temptation to ask other really stupid questions.
