Excellent wonderful tabs for multi parts.
The chromatic maxdad is the fun one because it sounds like a whole dulcimer choir from standard all the way down to bass. BTW the maxdad option on any dulcimer should have its own fretboard, 5 tuners on a traditional flathead (or contemporary flat head if possible) since it has 5 strings equally spaced apart.
Very pleased with the quality of the Quick Release Dulcimer Strap. Great workmanship.
This is a great book for new dulcimer players. It starts with basic strums and then moves into some songs.
Herdim Pick, 3-In-1 Sampler Pack (Four Of Each Color)
If you like the blues this book is great. Besides all the blues scales there many tunes that are fun to learn and play.
Excellent quality and fast shipment!
Great people to deal with great service thanks
A rather nice song bag, full of the charm of Milne's books and a bit more tuneful than Pooh's tum-te-tums, but overall most satisfying for someone - like me - who has always loved the simplicity and wisdom of a humble bear of purported very little brain. Now I have something to bring with me to share when I revisit the Hundred Acre Wood. Another, please.
The quality was very high, and shipping and processing very quick. I look forward to future orders!
I love these noters. I can tell the tone quality is better with walnut noters and yours are high quality. I’ve tried bamboo and I’m not a fan. Glass is good with my dulci-jo. Walnut is the best.
Quality dulcimer strings that give an excellent sound.
I have one dulcimer that hangs from a leather cord and a scroll head that did not fit. I tied a leather cord to it to hang. I turned the holder so it is in a "U" shape on the wall. Now both dulcimers can use it with no issues. Very sturdy, attractive and versatile!
These hangers are designed very well. It looks nice whether there is an instrument hanging from it or not. Holds my new Folkroots dulcimer and our guitars with no issues.
I had purchased a new Folkroots dulcimer in 2025. I ordered these for my gig bag incase of a string break during my dulcimer lessons.
