I’m still building the dulcimer and haven’t yet installed the pickup.
Right and left hand playing techniques, a CD with 15 dulcimer tunes, tributes to dulcimer players no longer with us, a variety of musical genres: classical thru the blues, with different arrangements of each tune are all included in this book.
Fast service, quality product. Always a pleasure to deal with Folkcraft!
I love the arpeggio exercises in this book as well as in the “Beautiful Melodies”. There’s a lot you can learn about chord structure while increasing your finger picking or flat picking skills. A pleasant way to learn by practicing.
These plans look good, but they don't correspond with my bending forms or my mold. Therefore, I am unable to use them. Make sure that they will work with your mold, or plan to build your own. I'd really like my money back, to be honest.
I am happy with my soft sided carry case. It has a roomy front pocket to keep all mt accessories organized and handy.
These are great plans right to the T easy to use, but when I buy a plan, I would like to sell a couple dulcimer off of that plan and they don’t want you to. Big commercial sellers I can see that but this backyard feller like me sell maybe one or two Would be good
The plans are excellent. I enjoyed making hour glass dulcimers from your plan and thought I'd try something different. The plans are clear and fairly easy to understand. I haven't started yet, but am looking forward to the build.
Every song seemed transposed too high, and backward....then I realized this great book was upside-down!
Nice !
This kit comes with everything you need to build your own dulcimer. Bery happy with my purchase
I called Folkcraft and put in an order for 12 sets of strings. I use a lot of them! The order was shipped out 24 hours later and arrived as scheduled.! Great strings, great service.

The brass Instrument wire was perfect size and sounds lovely
This book is good in many ways. However, the frequency of Daa or various tunings are not helpful in newbes who are being taught in DAD. I popped a few string trying to change tunings and give up on any exercises or songs other than my regular DAD tuning.
Recent hand problems have convinced me to finally learn noter and drone style dulcimer. Shouldn't have waited this long! I already had a couple of noters but wanted to add some to find a good one for me. The Folkcraft noter is nice and light, smoothly carved and feels good in the hand. Very reasonably priced and shipped quickly. Thanks!
These Ball end strings can be used on all Folkcraft instruments, as well as many others, in particular Warren May dulcimers. High quality, easy to order from Folkcraft.
Hi….I am glad I purchased this pick. I had never seen one like it before and wasn’t sure what I was in for. It is three picks in one, each point a little bit stiffer. I’m not sure why one edge is wavy. The points make picking the strings easier than a regular pick or fingers. Perhaps I should say it produces a stronge, less gentle sound. Anyway, I am glad I bought it.

Excellent material, easy to trim accurately and fantastic for bridges.
I installed black strap buttons on my granddaughter's dulcimer. She wanted black because she thought it looked cool. Thanks for the help.

I purchased this book of Hits of the Beatles because I wanted to play Norwegian Wood. The book also has other songs…like Here Comes the Sun, Hey Jude, Let It Be, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Yellow Submarine to name a few. It is going to be fun learning the songs.
Thank you for filling my order in such a prompt manner. They work great.
Nice to have the different colours.
Split them between me and my husband.
