Design Your Own Folkcraft® Custom Series Double Neck Dulcimer

Item Number 9000035

Regular price $1,995.00 (Plus additional options, if added)
 
This item ships for free, worldwide.

The Folkcraft double neck dulcimer is built from the ground up with the performer in mind. The big addition over a standard instrument is the extra fretboard (of course), but with the extra body size, you'll notice an increase in volume, sustain, and tone quality. Your choice of body and tone woods, sound holes, fretboard overlays, scale lengths, fret patterns, and more, make this custom dulcimer truly "yours".

This is an amazing instrument for the live musician, and you'll love having this dulcimer on your lap at your next gig. Most people choose a standard setup for the near (player side) fretboard, and then choose something else for the far fretboard (another standard setup, for an alternate tuning, a baritone setup, a bass setup, or even a fully-chromatic setup). Customizing your own double neck dulcimer is entirely up to you!

Each of our handmade dulcimers comes with our best soft carrying case, made here in the Folkcraft workshop. Our rigid case, which offers more protection, is available for an upcharge. Strap buttons are also included.

There are a lot of options to choose when designing an instrument for us to make for you. We have a reference/resource page here, and you're always welcome to contact us for help and guidance in making great choices.

Please allow us three to four months for shipping on your custom-built instrument.

Fishman Prefix Pro Blend Review

I already gave my review of the Folkcraft Custom Dulcimer, so this review is strictly for the Fishman Prefix Pro Blend pickup. Richard installed this on my dulcimer a few years after I had gotten my custom dulcimer. He did a nice job and was very accommodating to get it done for me. The pickup itself is awesome, and worth every penny. I love its acoustic tone and the possible adjustments. Richard even sent me home with good suggestions and a written sheet to help with using the pickup. Whether you order this with your custom build or choose to get it later, it's a good pickup to have.

Custom Series Dulcimer

The instrument is a thing of beauty. Action is outstanding and a pleasure to play. Folkcraft shifted it to bass at no extra charge (and also sent the original nut, bridge and strings). I just hope I can learn to play well enough to deserve it. A true pleasure to business with these folks.

Love my Folkcraft Custom Series Dulcimer!

I had been playing the mountain dulcimer for only a few months when I decided that I needed to upgrade to a dulcimer with a diatonic fret pattern 1.5, 6.5, 8.5, etc., that my old dulcimer did not have and would allow me to play more music. My appointment at Folkcraft was amazing! I wanted a quality instrument, but being very inexperienced, I needed guidance, and Richard was so helpful and patient! I selected a mahogany dulcimer with an Englemann spruce face. The scroll head and fret are padauk. It is a beautiful instrument and the sound is fantastic! I am completely happy with Folkcraft.

Cool Dulcimer

6 strings in 3 pairs gives it a nice ring. I was thinking of a version with 5 pairs of strings (10 in Total) called "MaxDAD X" because it would sound cool.
