This strap is going to be perfect for my needs. The fact that it quick-releases at both ends is a definite plus. I can leave the ends attached to the instrument when I pack it away for transport. The strap is actually long enough to adjust it so that I can hold the instrument like a dobro while standing up with the strap over my shoulder - lots of versatility.
Looks like very high quality and accurate plans for 5 string banjo and hourglass dulcimer.
Very professionally done plans at full scale and all the required details. Great seller.
This capo is easy to get on and off. The dulcimer has a good sound to it when using this capo.
I am the proud owner of two very fine old hand-built dulcimers. Getting them back into playing condition warranted the best quality strings, and Folkcraft delivered.
The shop is great and owner helpful. I’m enjoying the book Let’s Jam by Dave Haas
Book had a good variety of Christmas Music. Was easy to follow.
This strap is easy to use and I have arthritis in my hands.
I have purchased a number of plans from Folkcraft Instruments. They have all exceeded my expectations. Professionally prepared with clear dimensions and details. Their website has a selection of plans for other stringed instruments as well. Fast shipping and fair prices. Great eBay seller.
Never to soon to start learning and practicing for the season. I pull this out each November. Good beginner book
After a few years now, I want to affirm that my beautiful red cedar bass dulcimer has a special place in my heart and song list. Certain ballads sound so smooth a sweet on it. Those same tones would sound great added into a jam session.
I now have 2 reso’s. A standard plus 1.5 and a chromatic. I play the chromatic in our church group. We’ve done several gigs at community centers and nursing homes and each time more than 1 person asks about the resonators. And - I sound good with multiple guitars and other instruments and the resonator projects a wonderful sound.
These strings are well made without squeaking, sound great.
