Thank you for filling my order in such a prompt manner. They work great.
Nice to have the different colours.
Split them between me and my husband.
This instrument blows my mind. Oh what a fingerpicking gem this is. The volume and sustain is crazy out of this world. Of course all the transaction and shipping details went smoothly. The instrument arrived in perfect condition and timely. I love it!
I purchased a used dulcimer that didn’t come with a carrying case so my search for one led me here. I like this one very much. It is light but the padding is firm so the instrument is nicely protected. I have a dulcimer that is 36” long by 8” wide and it fits comfortably inside. The exterior pocket provides ample room for all my picks, capos with space left over for things like phone, wallets, etc.. The shoulder strap can be adjusted. The case was nicely packaged and arrived on schedule.
These rosette's were beautiful and easy to with the correct size forstner bit. They added a very nice touch to my instrument and have gotten multiple compliments.
Richard is a gem so helpful
Easy to understand. Not too bad for a novice with absolutely no string experience. I was a French Horn player.
This is a beautifully well crafted instrument and sounds amazing. My son is very happy to have it. Thank you!
As a new jammer I feel comfortable following the tab . The chords will come. I appreciate the huge number of songs in the book. I had been using a book with perhaps half of the titles. It is easy to read and to follow the notation. It is a book I feel happy with.
I’m finding the new Folkcraft strings I put on my mountain dulcimer are working out great!. I ordered a second set to have as back up. I highly recommended these strings.
I am very happy with these straps which are now on two of my dulcimers. They are attractive and comfortable and, above all, they are easy to put on and off due to quick-release feature. They eliminate the problem of having to remove my previous straps altogether when they got twisted, which they often did.
Now learning the Chromatic MaxDAD is a lot of fun
Recently, I bought an old dulcimer that was missing its bridge and nut. The Derlin 1 1/2” ones were a perfect fit. Easy peasy!
The strings are high quality, easy to install and make the natural sound of your dulcimer ring out. Highly recommend.
