Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer String Set, Ball Ends (.012" .015" .024"RW)

Item Number 9020271

Regular price $12.00

This set of Folkcraft brand dulcimer strings (mountain dulcimer string set) will keep your instrument sounding great. These ball end strings come in a set of three with the following gauges: .012, .015, .024RW.

Strings in this set:
Melody string: .012
Middle string: .015
Bass string: .024RW

The "RW" stands for Roller-Wound. The roller wound strings have a steel core, with a brass winding. The brass winding has been flattened with rollers, creating a warm sound with very little string squeak.

If you play your dulcimer set up with three strings (instead of four), then we're recommending these gauges - the balance across the strings is better for three-string players. (Some people take off the extra melody string of a four-string dulcimer string set, and play with 011, .013, and .024RW, but the slightly heavier gauges of our optimized three-string set are better for most players and most instruments.)

This mountain dulcimer string set is the same set of strings that we use on the instruments we make in the Folkcraft wood shop.

Better Sound

After a really nice talk with Richard he recommended a set of strings for my dulcimer. I couldn’t believe how much better my dulcimer sounds. Thankyou so much, Dennis

Best dulcimer strings

I've used GHS Phosphor Bronze strings on guitars for 50 years and they are the best. I was so blessed when I found the base string in this set to be roll wound. Hardly any sqeeky finger noise when playing. Very nice tone acoustics and if running into an amp. Thank you Folkcraft.

Loop end strings

I routinely restring my instruments on a schedule of every 3-4 months, depending on how much I play that given instrument. Folkcraft offers excellent strings at affordable prices, with several choices of string gauge.
