Favorite sing along songs for the Mountain Dulcimer is just what I was needing and is easy to follow.
Adding a strap to my Dulcimer was a game-changer. It eliminated the balancing act and struggles of keeping it still. It worked 100% with my playing style. It's also well made and quite beautiful:-)
Order came promptly.
My wife Arlene recently acquired a used McSpadden. She was using an old heavy 2" guitar strap. The 1" strap with snap buckles on both ends is working great for her.
The perfect solution for those who play mountain dulcimer with a strap. Easy on, easy off.
Love to review the string set ... But not to that stage of the build yet... Bought the Folkcraft teardrop Dulcimer plan and have been building it over the past few weeks... Adding ideas and things to make it the vision I had... So it's wait and see...
This is my favorite book now to just play through and sing familiar hymns. Chords are above the measures, so I can play the individual notes or just strum through the chords. I am so glad Mr. Ash recommended it. Thank you.

The instructions were easy to follow. The book is played out in a progressive manner and helped me to learn fingerpicking. I would recommend this to everyone that is interrested in fingerpicking.
I absolutely love this sturdy gig bag for my teardrop dulcimer! Plenty of nicely padded space for this fragile instrument plus a roomy outer pocket for iPad and other gear. I highly recommend this bag!
I love how smoothly my fingers slide on these strings!
This is not my first book by AaronO’Rourke. I enjoy the way he writes and teaches. It feels like he talking directly to you. Buy this. You won’t be sorry.
