Folkcraft® Black Walnut Side Set, Straight (Unbent), Bookmatched, 32" x 2 1/4" x 1/8"

These sides worked well. The only fault I found with them was some water stains that didn't want to sand out. Using a dark walnut stain hid them, so it wasn't a problem.

I just bought a black walnut dulcimer fingerboard from Folkcraft. I've been wanting to try an instrument with a 1.5 fret, and Richard kindly added a fret to their standard product for a nominal fee. It arrived quickly in spite of being a somewhat custom order. Intonation is perfect, the neck is straight, and the frets are level. I built a solid body electric dulcimer around the Folkcraft fingerboard. My pickup installation looks a bit clunky, but it's solid. The instrument sounds great. I'll probably order another fingerboard soon and build another that's a bit fancier. I may even try to build an acoustic next time.

I just finished building my first dulcimer with supplies from Folkcraft. I'm very pleased with the items I received, in fact I'm planning my next order.

This is a quality fret board that takes the guess work out of marking frets.

Everything good
