Replacement handle for M-15

[vibrating string]

The attachment and the internal metal bands on that handle are probably intact. I have stitched my own handle covers a few times. Remove the old leather and padding. Wrap ribbon of heavy paper stock around the handle to build a nice thick padding and tape that in place. Then tightly stitch a upholstery leather handle cover over that by hand using heavy waxed thread and two heavy leather needles. The metal band will continue to take the load and the padding and leather you stitched on will make the handle usable again.

I have an Ampeg Guitaramp from 1956. The hand it in good shape but it rattles when the volume coming from the amp is high. I intend to cover that with paper and leather to totally enclose the parts rattling against each other.
