Bridge for a Troubled Fretboard

Recently, I bought an old dulcimer that was missing its bridge and nut. The Derlin 1 1/2” ones were a perfect fit. Easy peasy!

Great strings.

The strings are high quality, easy to install and make the natural sound of your dulcimer ring out. Highly recommend.

Walnut fret board

The original walnut fret board that was shipped had two small imperfections one in the nut cut and another on an edge. Folkcraft sent a free replacement the same day that I notified them. The new piece looks great. Thanks

A thorough beginner's guide

Pleasantly surprised at the comprehensiveness of this beginner's book. Starts slow for us newbies and builds topic by topic - tunings, scales and easy first pieces evolve toward basic music theory, notation and more challenging exercises. You can listen online or download all of the music, a great help to those of us who want a sense of the music behind those notes. A very thorough and helpful guide to the dulcimer.

Best dulcimer case straps

Sometime ago I ordered a double dulcimer case from another dealer.it arrived with the hooks but without the straps. I ordered another set from Folkcraft. They are always so friendly and helpful. They want to make sure you are getting what you want. I enjoy purchasing from them.
The straps arrived very quickly, they fit my dulcimer case perfectly and I no longer have to carry two dulcimers on my shoulder. The weight is so much better on my back. I will always call them first if I have a musical need.

Herdim picks

I received the order in just a few days. Great condition. I appreciate how easy the website works, very clear and directs you as to how to start and complete the order.

Dave Haas Let’s Jam

Fun book of tunes not too difficult great for beginners ! CDs are good for hearing what the tune sounds like before trying to play. Wish it came digital.

Dulcimer strings

I love the strings from Folkcraft. I always buy them in bulk (12 each) when I receive them I put them in their sets, which gives me 12 sets of strings for considerably cheaper than buying one set at a time. They are very high quality.

Simply Gospel, Book Three by Maureen Sellers

Great tabs for wonderful songs. Really nice to play by yourself or with friends.

Excellent Strap

This 2” wide quick disconnect strap provides a secure and comfortable connection to my dulcimer.

From the Hills of Connemara to the Cliffs of Doneen

I likely won't get all of them, but "Baker's Dozen #1 Celtic Music" by Shelley Stevens is my third Baker's Dozen book. Two jigs in the book qualify as covering the cost of admission: Swallow Tail Jig and Black Nag, which is double jig. Both require using a capo on the first fret, but no other songs need one. Many of the tunes require strumming brightly and are quite lively. I was even able to create a pleasing medley by combining the book's The Sally Gardens with a version of Sally in the Garden.

Amazing Lap-Jo

I didn’t think I “needed” or was going to buy another dulcimer…until I saw the Lap-Jo Pro in the Folkcraft newsletter of Feb 21, 2025. I thought it would be neat to have a dulcimer that sounded like a banjo, so I ordered it. It is beautiful! I have had so much fun trying new songs that sound really cool on the Lap-Jo. My next purchase will be a small Fishman amp to go with it!

Wow! Love the choices!

Now I don't have to worry about, "where did I leave that pick?". I have picks stashed in my dulcimer bag, on my music stand, and extras. I really haven't been able to tell the flexibility difference between the colors, so I use them all!
