Re: Strap Recommendation
I've made a few with boot laces but the thin strap bothered my shoulder even though the mandolin isn't heavy. You can always try it out (just for the price of a set of boot laces).
You can use almost any guitar strap on a mandolin, using leather strips or shoe strings if needed for one or both strap ends.
Some folks have braided some nice straps from parachute cord, string, or leather. Lots of guides online.
My favorite mandolin straps are the Lakota, but they aren't cheap.
