In the world of music, efficiency and organization are essential—especially in rehearsal environments where time is limited, gear is plentiful, and space is shared. 

Simple, reusable, and versatile, hook and loop straps are used by musicians in countless ways to streamline rehearsals, protect equipment, and keep things running smoothly.

Steve Pope is both a dad and a musician. “One of the reasons why I fell in love with this company is because I’m also a musician who uses Cord-Lox® for gigs, rehearsals, and everything in between.”

Cables are everywhere in a rehearsal studio: instrument cables, microphone cords, power supplies, and patch cables can quickly become a tangled mess. 

Hook and loop straps provide a clean, reusable way to bundle and organize cables.

According to Pope, “I don’t mind admitting I’m a geek when it comes to having all my cables organized and identified. And like many other musicians, I’m not a fan of wasting time at gigs looking for one of my cables or getting into disagreements with the house sound guy about who owns which cable at the end of the show.”

TFI Custom Fabrication also offers custom printing options for your cable ties, tapes, and fasteners with your company name, logo, or contact information. 

Transitioning Kids Space to Rehearsal Space is Easy

While they may seem like a minor accessory, hook and loop straps play a major role in keeping rehearsal spaces functional, safe, and efficient. Their versatility, durability, and reusability make them a go-to tool for musicians of all styles and setups.

“Like a lot of dads, I use our basement for the band and for the kid’s playroom. That means after we play, I need to unplug, bundle, band, organize and store our cables as FAST as possible. I also want to set up quickly so we start playing as soon as my bandmates arrive. I couldn’t do this without these cable management solutions.”
