This loop end string set is designed for our 17/16 Hammered Dulcimers. Spend more time playing your hammered dulcimer and less time installing the strings, thanks to the convenient loop ends. Add brilliance, clarity, and life to your instrument with a new set of strings.

This set contains one dozen each of the following loop end string gauges: .014, .016, .018, .020, .022, .024, .028BW (bronze wound), .032BW (bronze wound), .034BW (bronze wound), and .052BW (bronze wound).

mostly great

I changed all my strings, and the loop ends made it easy. However, the 16 gage strings are useless. They're simply too thin. Not enough tension to achieve a loud tone, in fact they rattled. I took them off, as well as the 18s. I replaced them with 20s and now it sounds great.

Reviving the sound

Purchased a used ten year old Folkcraft kantele with its original strings. Although the instrument held its tuning, a bit mellow in its sound. Acquired a replacement set to "brighten" the sound once again, bringing it closer to the clearer sound it had coming off the bench. Instrument revitalized.

Product arrived very quickly and was just as ordered.
