I bought my walnut FolkCraft dulcimer during a period in time that know must have been a challenging time for Richard and his team. They were slap in the middle of the move from IN to MI. Regardless of the challenges a move like this must have presented he and his team were always there to offer the best customer experience. At some point during this overall process of preparing my dulcimer, a dulcimer of the wrong VSL was shipped. When I made Richard aware of the issue, again, he extended the best customer care anyone could ask for and replaced this instrument and he corrected this error quickly. I will always be returning to FolkCraft every opportunity I have to buy another one of their fine crafted instruments. I think the next one I buy will be a California style body with an ebony fretboard. I had an opportunity to play one recently, and I love the feel of the ebony and rich tone of the larger CA body.
These sides worked well. The only fault I found with them was some water stains that didn't want to sand out. Using a dark walnut stain hid them, so it wasn't a problem.
This was exactly what I was searching for, it was detailed and served my purpose well.
The download was promptly sent and easy to print.
Steve Eulberg - First 50 Songs You Should Play On Mountain Dulcimer
There are not many places for a "lay musician" to find some of the more esoteric parts for harps and hammered dulcimers. Folkcraft had exactly what I needed. I'll definitely be back for help with repairs and maintenance of my dulcimers. Thank you.!
This is an outstanding manual for TablEdit focused on dulcimer. The software itself has some quirks and how to do some things is not the least bit transparent but the examples provided in this book are relevant and helpful. This book and the software are two of the best purchases I have made.
These tuners perform well, look good and are very reasonably priced
I recently got an embroidered case for my Black Mointain kit Dulcimer I got in 1975! The case is personalized with my nickname and the quality of materials is high , from the padding to zippers ! It is a a great bag and kudos to the shipping crew for fulfilling my order in a timely fashion!
The picks are exactly as advertised and delivered quickly.
I am really enjoying this book. I love that Mike Anderson has included the lyrics to as many verses as he could find, as well sharing fun facts and other interesting information. Be aware that occasionally the chord names above the notation do not match with the tabbed chords, but if you stick to the tab, you'll be fine. All in all, a delightful book of songs for kids, including pointers on performing for kids.
The songs downloaded perfectly. Thank you!
Great book but definitely designed for intermediate or advanced players. Great selection of songs.
My second set of these machine heads for my two dulcimer builds. They were both excellent quality and worked great. Thanks for a quality product and fast shipping!!
Found the original LMI guitar plans. Great communication and fast shipping. Thanks !
This Strap is easy to use. It makes me feel secure that my dulcimer won't slip off my lap.
This book has a wide range of lullabies from all over the world and even has a few in different tunings. As always, Joe's tab is easy to read and very doable. This is exactly what I was looking for and more!
I built this for my wife for an anniversary gift, she adores it and the build was straightforward. Quality parts, good instructions. I made some minor modifications to the kit (strum hollow on the neck, cut the nut slots a bit deeper, touch of paint) and everything worked out great. 100% recommended
Nina is the master at finger picking. If you want to grow in this area or just have great tab of some beautiful pieces her softer Side of Dulcimer is perfect. Great variation of levels for all abilities.
Judy House - Favorite Sing-Along Songs For The Mountain Dulcimer
I have completed several of these kits. I am very pleased with the results. all are playable and look good. I wonder why some people are having trouble with this. You know what a dulcimer looks like and you know the parts. Just put them together. I do use the kit as a starting point. I use other woods and I do use knerf strips so I guess Im a little more advanced with these kits. I am very impressed with the quality provided and have zero problem recommending them. I am hoping that rosewood becomes available soon.
Nina provides 2-3 versions of every song. I love that I can start with the beginner version to play Celtic music and then have the more advanced versions as I improve. Nina's songs and tab never disappoint! Another great book.
I came into possession of a Folkcraft travel dulcimer. Needed gig bag for same. The "small size dulcimer case" was obviously made for this dulcimer, it's a perfect fit. The zipper is somewhat balky, needs a little WD-40. but otherwise is perfectly satisfactory. Thank you Richard, probably need to purchase one of your dulcimers one of these days. Jim Thurman
The Favorite Sing-Along Songs from Judy is a good book for the intermediate player. I am just getting my feet under me with the mountain dulcimer and the book help me improve my skills. But this is not a beginners book.
