The Folkcraft Bronze Wound Strings offer a distinct tone for acoustic dulcimers and have a bright sound.
I’ve not started building yet but the plans look sufficient.
I am very pleased with the strap I purchased for my Dulcimer. It is very well made, and feels much more secure than the more narrow straps. I highly recommend this one.
I was very pleased with the quality of the rosettes.
They look great a easy placement. Thay are always perfect, however, ai must have tossed them out as they came with another item.
I like how this book is set up as a practice guide for learning. I am a beginner and I am finding it helpful in working up and down the fret board and across the strings. I don’t find the CD helpful only because we no longer own a CD player.
Book has lots of great jam songs! Looking forward to getting my new Folkroots H Series dulcimer and diving in!
Very good book for beginner MD players
Excellent strings and love the sound.
Amazed how quickly order was receivd
It is a little premature to review dreadnought plans. I have some Cocobolo and killer soundboard wood sized for a dreadnought These plans look pretty spot on from what I've used via Stewmac's herringbone plans (basically same plans), but are $11 less expensive. I just need the bracing layout as a starting point. I have good side bending forms and the molds for a dreadnought. I will vary bridge, brace shape/scallop, headstock shape, etc. I will go with a Martin scale neck/fingerboard fret slotting. I have some other guitars in progress and haven't got to this guitar yet. It's been a while since I've built a dreadnought styled guitar.
This book stands out as a great teaching book. I recommend it to all my students. It also works great on your own with no teacher.
I've used these on a couple of projects and have had good results. They look nice too.
Bronze Wound Strings for the bass dulcimer reduce squeak and provide faster action.
The quality of Folkcraft dulcimer strings are so good. They hold their tone well, are very durable and easy to replace. I highly recommend them to anyone playing the dulcimer. Folkcraft products are great. Richard, and his staff, are so pleasant and accommodating to work with!
Many years ago, I bought a small zither for my young daughter, but it did not come with any tuning tool. I got it out recently to give to her (now an adult) and it was hopelessly out of tune of course. I was so pleased to find this handy and sturdy tuning key which fits the tuning pegs on her little zither. It needs to be re-strung, but now she has the tool she needs!
Way over priced. Needed them fast, or I would not have purchased. That said, these are nice.
Love my Sweet Kitty dulcimer! Named for the "walking cat" sound holes. The 23" vsl is perfect for me.
I own a number of Folkcraft cases. They are well-made, nicely padded, and look classy. This one will work well for my bowed psaltery and stand.
My first time replacing strings on my dulcimer - I had no problem getting these installed. Product was as advertised and arrived in a timely manner.
These gift cards, which I've used a couple of times, are perfect gifts and so easy to use on the Folkcraft website.
I do a lot of my own tabbing, from standard music notation. This gives me a lot of pages for doing this. Just a nice thing to have available.
