Let me start by saying if you’re a beginner and want to learn the dulcimer there’s nothing wrong with going with the cardboard kit it gives you appreciation for what you had built. Yes I’ve own a few dulcimers all diatonic, but I want to learn chromatic so this is the way I went, as far as shipping, an actual product review. It’s all great because it’s from folkcraft.
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
The kit is excellent , all the parts fit well. It was a joy to build it yourself . Now I just have to learn to play it . Thank you Folkcraft for a fine product . D Kitson
An excellent kit to assemble. Went together nicely. I did watch Banjo Lemonade do her YouTube video's which helped and she gave some tips as well. I did change the strings and made it a baritone and it sounds really good.
My husband & I play Mountain Dulcimers. Several of our grandchildren have showed an interest in learning and playing with us. We opted to try Folkcraft cardboard dulcimer for them to start learning to play. The kits arrived intact and with all the necessary pieces. The instructions were clear and concise. We also watched Mandy’s YouTube videos for more detail on assembly. Both dulcimers turned out great! They are a little quiet, but the tone and sustain is remarkable! Thank you Richard and fellow luthiers! Your excellent product is helping to insure the next generations will love the mountain dulcimer too.
