Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer String Set, Ball Ends (.011" .011" .013" .024"RW)
Excellent material, easy to trim accurately and fantastic for bridges.
I installed black strap buttons on my granddaughter's dulcimer. She wanted black because she thought it looked cool. Thanks for the help.
Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer String Set, Ball Ends (.012" .015" .024"RW)
I purchased this book of Hits of the Beatles because I wanted to play Norwegian Wood. The book also has other songs…like Here Comes the Sun, Hey Jude, Let It Be, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Yellow Submarine to name a few. It is going to be fun learning the songs.
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.
