I had been playing the mountain dulcimer for only a few months when I decided that I needed to upgrade to a dulcimer with a diatonic fret pattern 1.5, 6.5, 8.5, etc., that my old dulcimer did not have and would allow me to play more music. My appointment at Folkcraft was amazing! I wanted a quality instrument, but being very inexperienced, I needed guidance, and Richard was so helpful and patient! I selected a mahogany dulcimer with an Englemann spruce face. The scroll head and fret are padauk. It is a beautiful instrument and the sound is fantastic! I am completely happy with Folkcraft.

Cool Dulcimer
6 strings in 3 pairs gives it a nice ring. I was thinking of a version with 5 pairs of strings (10 in Total) called "MaxDAD X" because it would sound cool.

Beautiful in every way
The workmanship and artistry of my new dulcimer are inspiring. I’m a beginner and hope to do this lovely instrument justice.

Folkcraft® Custom Series Dulcimer, Maple Body
This dulcimer is beautiful! Great sustain mellow sound with the Galax bottom and a lot easier to play with shorter 25” VSL. I’m finding my flat picking is better as well.
