I am very pleased with the quality and beauty of my new Folk Roots Max DAD Dulcimer. I was also very pleased with the helpful and knowledgeable assistance of the creator and builder of my instrument, Richard Ash. He assisted me in choosing my dulcimer, and in learning how to play and enjoy this unique instrument. For those who are interested in this dulcimer, Bing Futch has a very helpful Dulcimerica Podcast on the Max DAD. You don't just get a quality instrument from Folkcraft, you get excellent customer service as well.

Love the new dulcimer
I love the new dulcimer. The galax back makes a big difference in sound quality and I’m really enjoying the MAX DAD string arrangement - it’s like having two dulcimers in one. I fingerpick or flatpack the same piece on the “treble” DAD and then again on the “bass” DAD for a different sound/mood. I find strumming a little more difficult but I’m getting better with practice. I couldn’t be happier with the instrument and appreciate the great customer service as well.

What a great dulcimer!
I had Richard and the gang build me one of these amazing instruments. I was amazed at the sound. It is exquisite! The bass is a lot of fun and gives the player a lot of possibilities... or you can simply use some extra drone strings. There is so much you can do with this. I am totally smitten with this instrument. Love it!!!!!
