Folkcraft® Plain Steel Strings, Ball Ends, Pack Of Twelve, .012
Regular price $9.00
I use these strings on my bowed psaltery. They are easy to work with and give an exceptional tone when bowed.
I bought a pack of 12 "Folkcraft® Plain Steel Strings with Loop Ends to use on our DAA Lap Dulcimers as middle strings. As far as I am concerned, steel strings are pretty much the same, but I have found the Folkcraft gives good, prompt service and good prices on bulk packs.
I've built quite a few dulcimers over the years ... because I enjoy building. But I also play. Some of them get sold, some given as gifts. I always include an extra set of strings with the "sells" and "gives". and those I play obviously will need a string change periodically.
Bulk string purchase is the way to go. A money saver and I'm never without strings (making them a time saver, too. Same great quality as those sold in sets.
I always use these strings. High quality, and consistent performance.
Being able to buy a dozen strings of whatever gauge I want is such an improvement over buying sets of strings. I have four dulcimers with different VSLs both ball end and loop end and now I always have the right string readily at hand. And of course the quality of the strings is excellent. Couldn’t be happier.
