LOVE using these on my dulcimers. Having a beefier melody string is great for this tuning. No more floppy melody strings!
Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer String Set, Six String, Loop Ends (.011" .011" .013" .013" .024BW" .011")
I like these picks a lot. I especially appreciate their textured surface because I have had trouble keeping picks between my thumb and forefinger and the textured surface seems to alleviate that. I could not detect any difference in thiskness or stiffness between the three colors. I used a digital caliper guage on the very tips of the "I" point on all three colors and the reading was a consistent .4 mm. After I had taken the battery out of the caliper and put it away, I tried to compare the stiffness of the three tips ("I", "II", and "III") and maybe it was my imagination, but the I seemed more flexible than the II and the III. I am not curious enough to get my caliper back out to check this.
Serviceable and reasonably priced. Just what I needed.
I absolutely love my 2" Quick release strap for my mountain dulcimer. It is sturdy and keeps the instrument secure on my lap, yet is easy to undo when needed. I will be purchasing another strap for my second dulcimer
Received my strings in a timely manner. Well pleased with the strings and the company.
They look so beautiful in the Dulcimer I made. Thank you.

Order was filled promptly, and confirmation was received quickly. Always pleased with the service!
Love this book. It has so many of the older songs and even as a beginner, it's easy arrangements to follow.
I 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!
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.
