Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer String Set, Ball Ends (.011" .011" .013" .024"RW)

Item Number 2346554

Regular price $14.00

The ultimate set of dulcimer strings. This is the string set we've been installing on new Folkcrafts since 2012. (It is also the set that Folkcraft owner Richard Ash has on his personal dulcimer!)

Strings in this set:
Melody strings (2): .011
Middle string: .013
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.

The dulcimers were a hit!

I ordered the dulcimers as part of our study of Appalachia; making them was a selling point. My students, grades 6,7 and 8, assembled them (we did get the prepared fret boards) and had a great time learning to play them.

Trusted supplier

I have not finished the build these strings are going to used on. I do know that Folkcraft has always been a reliable provider of the quality materials I expect.

Awesome

These strings work amazingly well on the 4 string Lap-Jo because they have loop ends & actually the Roller wound strings have a smoother feel than the stainless steel wound strings plus the frets won't get scratched, but either way they still have that banjo twang due to that drumhead.
