I'll chime in here too. I buy 72 in rawhide bootlaces (you'll need two) and 72 in boot laces (the ones that are braided nylon - you'll need one). Soak the rawhide and take all three, tie a figure eight knot at one end (leave enough to tie onto your end pin) and just braid the three shoelaces together, like a long pigtail. How you end it and how long it needs to be is up to you.
What I do for the end is after it is braided to the right length, I tie another figure eight knot, cut away the nylon (and burn the end) and then use the two rawhide laces to loop the scroll (or neck for a-body). You can make a nice sliding hitch to allow adjustment.
To learn more, buy a mandolin from me - ha. I do included them with each one (this is true; however what I sell is really low end for most of this crowd - ha again).
