This is a wonderful book with a great selection of tunes and ones for beginners to advanced. The tabs are easy to read and it was well edited.
nice grain, nicely matched
I have quite a few dulcimers, play all of them regularly and keep a log of when to change strings. Purchasing strings in bulk is an efficient and economical way to keep up with string changes.
It's been fine so far no complaints. The bag is well padded and stitched. Ihavent seen it yet but a smaller pocket inside the front pocket for picks and possible a capo and nodder pocket. Overall a solid made product
Great duets at varying skill levels. Thanks, Larry Conger!
I've bought a number of instrument supplies from Folkcraft, and they've never let me down. I've also found they are, specifically, my "go to" store for replacement strings for the various instruments in my collection. I trust these guys for sure!
Drive Haas has provided a delightful introduction to flat picking on the dulcimer, along with an assortment of beautiful tunes, as advertised. He includes a number of arpeggio exercises which are a fun way to to develop muscle memory for enhancing melodies with additional notes, This is a fun book for improving picking and enhancing melodies.
I have many dulcimers. I play daily for 1-2 hours, and rotate dulcimers so all of them are played often. I like to change strings about every 4-6 months. I like to get Folkcraft strings because they are the sizes I like. Ordering on line is simple and the selection is great.
Mr. Eulberg’s “Another Jig Will Do” is an excellent collection of Irish/Scottish/Welsh/English music. He offers the songs in DAD, DAA and other tunings for some. A good book for any music collection.
The Baritone DulciVox Pro is a beautiful instrument to behold. The craftsmanship is outstanding. The sound of this Baritone is rich and warm. I'm enjoying learning the new AEA tuning, and learned I can put a capo on the 3rd fret to get DAD tuning, or just play at the 3rd fret for the same tuning. I've found that Pixie Wrights' AEA Baritone Dulcimer Chord Chart (also available at Folkcraft) has been a big help in my learning curve.
The only pick that I have found that truly sounds good on a dulcimer. I haven’t used any other for years.
I like the feel of them as well as the differences
FolkCraft makes a great strap. I particularly like the quick release on both ends. Easy a practical
Like all things Folkcraft this capo fits and works well. I like the style.
I was looking for a larger book of songs, since I am unfamiliar with a lot of the typical folk songs played in the bluegrass groups. In particular, Arkansas Traveler, Wildflower and Angeline the Baker. Plenty of songs for all abilities, with Jam tips and 2 midi cds to play along with or just listen. Worth the money, in my opinion.
Love the quality workmanship. Richard and team provide the best. DulciVox Pro has a full voice. Get the quality you expect with Folkscraft. I am very pleased.
I ordered three Quick Release straps in different colors, and the delivery was prompt. The straps are well made, and very comfortable. The release works very smoothly, and I have only positive words for this product.
This is a good collection of songs in a variety of genres. I have a similar book for mandolin. The author(s) did a good a job of selecting the tunes. The book is well organized, has high quality construction and a good value for the money.
I had lost my capo and Folkcraft had the exact same design I like. The measurements of what it will adjust to were great so I knew it would fit my current dulcimer as well as my Folkcraft when it arrives. I like this style as unlike those that have felt, it doesn't get worn down and keeps the tuning true. We even put it on a fellow member of the local Dulcimer club's dulcimer and she was going to order one as well.
Lots of nice intermediate arrangements that will give you some practice with embellishments - pull offs, hammer-ons, and slides. It’s all in dad tuning, though a few songs require a capo. My copy had relatively light printing, and I wish it was printed with better contrast, but it’s still readable. I don’t know if mine is a fluke or that’s the way it was printed in all copies of the book.
There are midi recordings available for all the songs which are useful to hear the tune. But the recordings are not on an actual dulcimer. You can download the midi files here on Folkcraft for free.
