Nice padded care case for my mountain dulcimer
Richard, it is a Christmas present and I haven’t used it yet. I’m just beginning to play so it may be awhile before I need it. I’m sure it is Folkcraft typical quality.

Folkcraft has a good selection of parts and tools for repair, alteration, and builds.
All my orders have been quality and well priced.
I gave my Pennywhistle, I just bought, to X. He played it and said it would be perfect to take with him on his travels. Thank you.
Great book for beginners as all songs are the same three chords and easy to sing along with! A should have book!
I was very excited to get a Shelley Steven tab book on sale. I bought 3 copies for my small group of players as Christmas gifts because I knew one player had an interest in this type of tune. This tab is clearly not for the new beginning player however. I’m struggling with these tunes myself.
Great music and great teacher
Love this collection! I was looking for a church selection. Many choices!
This looks like a wonderful book, however it is way above my understanding. I am a new player. I guess I misunderstood the description.
Another book from Shelley Stevens' Baker's Dozen series, "#12 Jam Tunes and Beyond" includes a number of familiar numbers and a handful of new ones for me, such as Billy in the Low Ground, June Apple and Ragtime Annie. The latter one seems like a tune that missed the cut from her "#10 Ragtime and Honkytonk" book. If Folkcraft offers the other nine books from the series at the same discounted price, I would probably get them--ideally if all were offered at once to save on shipping.
I like these strings. After installation, I'll tune them maybe twice and they just stay tuned a long time.
Both volumes very helpful in learning new ties for me. Recommend for anyone seeking more tunes!!
Although I've played various instruments for 40 years, I'm new to dulcimers and one of those people who has to have a few of the same instrument. I've purchased a few dulcimers from private professionals, but I have to say that Folkcraft's is the best quality I've put my hands on so far. The fit, finish, overall beauty and sound is by far my favorite. I have a full walnut custom teardrop that was on their "ready to ship" list. I looked at it for weeks before deciding to spend a little more than I planned, but I'm so glad I did. I also do woodworking, so I bought their plans to build my own. I've discovered a new source to help satisfy my musical needs! Thank you Richard and team.
Beautiful Dulcimer, both in sound quality and build! Love it, thank you!
Thanks for the prompt service. Love the strings
I like these Folkcraft loop end strings. I think the BW bass string sounds better than the standard bass string.
The pieces I received were sized perfectly for an 1/8” slot. They were extra long and wide with plenty of latitude for any number of applications. I would buy them again.
What an enjoyable book!. It is fun to have new songs to play and challenge my fingers! Thanks for the quick and helpful service.
I replaced the old worn tuners (Machine Heads) on my Mountain Dulcimer with the Folkcraft tuners. They work great.
These nuts are slotted that I can easily alternate between 3 & 4 string setups which is pretty rad. A Lap-Jo bridge slotted in that manner would be cool too.
These strings work amazingly well on the 4 string Lap-Jo because they have loop ends & actually the Roller wound strings have a smoother feel than the stainless steel wound strings plus the frets won't get scratched, but either way they still have that banjo twang due to that drumhead.
I just bought a baritone dulcimer. I decided this was a good book to get started. It is ADA tuning so can be played with others in DAD.
Well draw with all information needed to build your on ukulele. Highly recommended.
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!
