LOVE THIS DULCIMER!

I am a complete beginner to a stringed instrument. Started out with a cardboard dulcimer that my daughter bought me to see if I would like it. Fell in love with the ease of learning to play a dulcimer and called the Folkcraft people. Got it very quickly. It is beautiful and sounds great!

Folkcraft Custom Dulcimer Spruce & Sycamore

Amazing! In my 50 years + of stringed instrument playing I can't remember such a seamless acquisition and such a perfectly constructed and beautiful tool. In my 3 weeks of ownership I'm amazed at the developing tone and voice. This instrument is a pure joy. Thank you!

Fun chromatic dulcimer

The chromatic maxdad is the fun one because it sounds like a whole dulcimer choir from standard all the way down to bass. BTW the maxdad option on any dulcimer should have its own fretboard, 5 tuners on a traditional flathead (or contemporary flat head if possible) since it has 5 strings equally spaced apart.
