Folkcraft customers speak out!
from 3074 reviewsI ordered size 12, 14 & 24 loop strings.
First order was missing the 24s.
Contacted Folkcraft & within days they sent the 24s. Good company to work with.

Got a quick, thorough answer to my questions and got exactly what I needed. Delivery was timely. Would recommend to anyone.

As always, Folkcraft is so helpful! I called to ask if there were alternatives to the .054" bass string to get a better tone on my bass. Richard suggested. 050" and that did the trick. Great customer service, quick shipment.
Thank you!

Easy to play tunes for a beginner!

We got two of these shirts, for me and my husband. They are nice! Just the right weight of fabric and comfy, with the Folkcraft logo to show off.

Fine product. Looks just like the old traditional bone material, but easier to work with. I like to use this particular Folkcraft product if I purchase an older Folkcraft dulcimer that needs the nut or bridge replaced.

The Dulcimer Bag is nicely padded and makes it safe and easy to carry our Dulcimer.

Sweet! Fast shipping. Full-size printed plan means I dont have to figure out where to get a digital plan printed in order to actually use it. Nearest print facility for me is 25 miles away. I appreciated all the notes and options. Should be fun! Thanx!

Mandy does a great job teaching to all levels of players. She is very good at explaining, demonstrating, and making every person feel included. I would attend her clinics again in the future. Thank you Mandy for a successful lesson!!

I bought this strap when I ordered my custom built dulcimer. I decided to try it out on my "old" dulcimer and found it to be comfortable, easy to use and well made. I recommend it!

Mandy does a great job of reaching all levels of players. She has a real knack of conveying the basics and then also presenting challenges. I picked up a few more concepts to work on my dulcimer skills.

These String Swing instrument hangers are the best. Every one of my dulcimers, Folkcraft and other, work well with these. They allow me to rotate which ones are out and ready to grab and play.

I thought I would give this tuning wrench a try, on my bowed psaltery. The "T" design of wrenches always work better than the "L" design. This is small and simple, but it works well. I really like it. I think I even get more precise tuning than with my much bigger (and expensive) "T" wrench, because I'm using my fingers instead of my whole hand to turn it. Love its compact design too!

This is a simple but well constructed capo that does the job well. Fairly priced and easy to use.
