Great fingerprinting arrangements, as always with Larry.
Excellent product and service.
You have tuning wrenches for zither pins but you don't seem to have zither pins?
The Peach Pickers in GA are getting ready for a Patriotic playout in May/June. This book by Judy House is getting a workout. The songs are written well. . .and we are having the time of our lives getting ready for a fun outing.
I love all the songs in this book!
Both the tuning pegs and dulcimer strings are great! They make my dulcimer sound better and it’s easier to tune. I am new to playing the dulcimer and I emailed to ask a few questions and he was extremely helpful and replied within the same day. I highly recommend using Folkcraft for all your instrument needs!
Great price, prompt shipping!
very
Thanks for the video on how to install on a scroll-head dulcimer. That made the job easy!
They are great! I usually use the red but keep switching to the others. My instructor recommended the Herdim because "you don't hear a click" when it touches the string, and it's true!
Just what I needed to get started with flat-picking. The songs get more challenging as you go, so it's fun and engaging.
Rick was friendly and took time to explain. He was prompt in sending the items I needed. He advised me what to do about wood cracking behind my hammered dulcimer. We talked about other hammered dulcimers.
The book seems to have tunes fairly easy to play.
Terrific 1st Step for new dulcimer students. Great reference book for later review.
I had been looking for mountain dulcimer tab for most of these songs that wouldn't be too difficult to play. and this is just the book I've been looking for! Great tab for wonderful music. Plus, the first part of the book actually gives practical information and advice for playing at a wedding! Thank you, Dana Gruber!
Heidi's artful arrangements of less common Holiday season tunes are delightful to hear and to play
Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer String Set, Loop Ends (.011" .011" .013" .024"RW)
Excellent wonderful tabs for multi parts.
This book gives me hope that I will learn to play the mountain dulcimer.
I have a custom-made capo for my dulcimer (made by John Hedrick and Ed Day: Spokane Dulcimer Guild), so I bought the Folkcraft capo for times when I might be playing a different dulcimer. Not familiar with using this type of capo, so part of my problem might be "operator error", but I have difficulty getting it into place as the little parts with the cushion that are supposed to move in toward the neck seem to want to wobble and get stuck out of position. Will keep fussing with it until I figure out how to get it in place.
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.
Very pleased with the quality of the Quick Release Dulcimer Strap. Great workmanship.
This is a great book for new dulcimer players. It starts with basic strums and then moves into some songs.
