Handmade Mountain Dulcimers Since 1968

I ordered two walnut pre-curved sides and a walnut scroll head. The items were received well packed and as usual, the items were of the highest quality. You cannot go wrong ordering items from Folkcraft.

Strap works as it should. The brown color compliments the walnut body on my Folkcraft dulcimer.

Perfect fit for my bass dulcimer.

I have a second hand Taka Appalachian dulcimer. Not a high quality instrument, but I enjoy playing it. When the brittle, old plastic bridge snapped at the low string groove, I decided to try replacing both the nut and bridge myself. The micarta but and bridge looked to be sturdy, inexpensive pieces.
This was the first time I'd done this type of repair, but the micarta material is easy to work with. Miter saw, file and sandpaper, and a small mallet were the only tools.
These pieces were wider than my plastic ones. I think sanding the sides to make them thinner would work fine, but I didn't try this. I widened the nut groove because all of the frets were a bit sharp (cheap instrument).
I think the stronger nut and bridge have improved the sound, and I have enough material to replace both nut and bridge again should something happen.

Love these pics. I am so glad there back in stock

Since the company declared bankruptcy, these picks are nearly impossible to find. Get ‘em while you can!

Guitar player for 60 years, serious dulcimer player for 25 years. Never ever have I found a better pick! Enough said. Covet and cherish them forever! I add tennis grip and they never fly out of my hands. The pictures shows my grip tape on a few picks.

My favorite picks. Too bad they are no longer produced. I do fall back on some .60 triangular picks at times.

easy to follow

Great arrangements of Bill Staines songs. I am really enjoying working through them and playing them.

Capo is adequate, but seems a bit light.

Soft works for most of
my short trips. Workmanship is
outstanding.

i love it
