Folkcraft Instruments will be on hand with a nice display of mountain dulcimers and dulcimer accessories, and Folkcraft owner/luthier Richard Ash will be there with a full selection of tools, so he'll be able to help your dulcimer with repairs, set-ups, string changes, and most anything else that your dulcimer needs.

Be sure to schedule a repair slot/time with Richard well in advance of the festival - at previous festivals, he's generally booked solid, and turns away even simple jobs like string changes due to lack of available time.
