Beautiful Dulcimer!

I am a beginner dulcimer player and I just received my “Design Your Own Folkcraft FSH Series Mountain Dulcimer” a few weeks ago. I love it! Thank you to Richard and everyone at Folkcraft for the excellent craftsmanship and awesome quality!

Lovely Folkcraft Chromatic FSH Dulcimer

I recently received this fabulous dulcimer in the mail, and it plays beautifully. The intonation is spot-on, and the wood (all walnut) is gorgeous. Since it’s chromatic, it’ll be a while before I can play it well, but I’m happy with it so far. Also, the customer service is great. Jim and his crew are very nice people. They gave me lots of good advice prior to my purchase, and were really nice about changing the dulcimer to double-melody. Get a dulcimer- you won’t regret it.

FSH Solid Walnut with 1.5, 6.5, …

What can I say, the instrument is beautiful looking, sounding, and crafted. This is actually my second folkcraft instrument. I bought the first one just a month earlier and was so taken by again it’s beauty craftsmanship and sound that I decided to try the Kentucky style instead of the California style, which was the style of my first instrument. Anyone looking for a mountain Dalsimer shouldn’t hesitate to buy from folkcraft. They also have excellent service and a great guy to talk to on the phone if you give them a call.
