The service was quick, and the quality is excellent--no less than I would expect!
The evolution of the mountain dulcimer continues with Folkcraft's latest product - the DulciVox. This is a full-bodied dulcimer with a truly big voice and amazing sustain across the entire fretboard. Fitted with a Sitka spruce top, it almost feels like a small guitar. The "Pro" version comes with a choice of Fishman pickups (active or passive) and in my case, a fully chromatic fretboard. Want a high-quality dulcimer that will hold its own when played in a room with other instruments? Here it is. Folkcraft's new DulciVox gets my highest recommendation.
I’m using the Bowed Psaltry Carrying Case for a Folkcraft MTSCH Travel Dulcimer that is 24 1/2 inches long and 6 1/4 inches wide. It’s a great fit and provides the kind of protection and portability I was looking for. Very well-made and the sale price can’t be beaten! Bravo, Folkcraft!
I have had a Walnut/Butternut Folkcraft dulcimer for some years, and it's one of my go-to instruments. It is beautiful in looks and mellow in tone, easy to fret and sounds great!
Music is perfect for the level I'm playing. Enjoy the international mix of songs. Scottish and medieval music are my favorites so the book is a treat.
This is a wonderful book and the hymn songs in DAD sound SOOOO pretty. I can sing along with them and worship the Lord at home. What a blessing. Thank you Joe.

Works well on my folkroot D series. Tightens and holds nicely.
Doesnt work of my classic 1983 vintage .nor, the one i made because thye fret board isnt high enough for the capo to reach the strings,
Well worth the price.
This edition has familiar and new songs to play and learn. Very well done
Seems a lot of thought and work went into this book. If you're looking for something different, this is your book.
This is an excellent tutorial that left me with a good understanding of TablEdit’s capabilities and processes. It’s clear, well-written, and well-organized; the author has obviously expended a lot of time and careful thought on it. I did follow the instructions on tying notes without any success, although this is the only possible flaw I’ve discovered so far. Overall, however, purchasing this manual was money well spent, and I’m quite pleased with it.
This is a really cool dulcimer. I choose to have it made fully chromatic. It has a unique sound that just begs you to play some blue (or old hymns). You can slide some, even with the strings set to “low”. Setting them in “high” position makes the instrument just like a dobro. I play it mostly in “low” position because I mostly work with chords and strumming. But the instrument offers something for everyone- as long as you like that “Deep South” resonator sound.
I now have all her books, I ordered her other books for our group, so we all have the same. The simplicity of her books make it nice for advanced and some beginner players. Hyms for 2 is great, a much fuller sound ,

My better half is the musician of the family; I sing, but all my efforts with instruments have… let’s not go there. But she *loves* this book!
Nothing but good things to say about my experience with folk craft, was very happy to talk to a real human first time I called, needed a custom size case for keyboard, everything was handled with a short ( 10 min) phone call and less than a week later I had my case, fits perfectly and seems to be made from great quality materials, especially impressed with heavy duty zipper as that’s usually the first thing to go on my cases, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a custom case.
Picked up a folkroot rugg n jackel at a flea market in Coventry ct this past summer. Vintage 1983. Cleaned it up and put a set of your strings. Very nice action. Fingers can slide easily no squeaks. Decent sound for its size.
My order came quickly. The picks worked for what I needed them for.
I purchased these items for my son. He liked them. You always have quality items. Thank you.
Good quality. Exactly what I was expecting. Came early.
Shelley is a great dulcimer player and a superior arranger of tunes. Her books are perfect examples of this. I'm glad to have them.

The package of machine heads include the necessary tiny mounting screws as well as the decorative chrome colored grommets. The grommets measure at about 5/16 inch in diameter so I used a letter 'O' drill bit to make the mounting holes. Instead of pounding them into position I used a 'C' Clamp and pressed them into the holes. The pilot holes for the screws that hold the machine heads in place were drilled with a #50 drill making them easy to screw into place using a small Phillips head screwdriver - i was concerned about stripping the slot for the screwdriver if the pilot hole was too small. As I recall, the description for the set of four mentions that 2 right and 2 left machines are included and such was the case thus allowing all four to be turned in the same rotational direction to adjust string tension no matter which side of the peg head they are mounted on. Very nice and smooth to use. So far they hold the tension accurately from day to day.
