I have one dulcimer that hangs from a leather cord and a scroll head that did not fit. I tied a leather cord to it to hang. I turned the holder so it is in a "U" shape on the wall. Now both dulcimers can use it with no issues. Very sturdy, attractive and versatile!
These hangers are designed very well. It looks nice whether there is an instrument hanging from it or not. Holds my new Folkroots dulcimer and our guitars with no issues.
I had purchased a new Folkroots dulcimer in 2025. I ordered these for my gig bag incase of a string break during my dulcimer lessons.
The My Teaching Book #1 was recommended by my dulcimer teacher. I purchased #1 and #2, they are well worth it. A really great resource for anyone.

Wonderful learning resource. The included CD is great for those of us with limited internet.
This is a wonderful learning resource. I am enjoying the lessons. The included CD is great for those of us who have limited and sometimes no internet.
Great book for me to improve my playing with songs I know. 16 of the 50 songs require the 1 + fret, but some you can still play the melody. Good arrangements. Thanks.
Love the songs that are presented in the book, songs I grew up listening to. Some of my favorites require the 1+ fret, but I am still able to play the melody. This book is one that will encourage me to play better.
The pad holds my dulcimer secure on my lap! No more slipping. Great product!
Looks great, perfect size, love the stiching.
Perfect for needing extra room (38 inches, etc)
Excellent book, plenty of great songs from that golden era of folk music.
The parts are exactly as described and good quality. Shipping was quick!
Best price around for my bowed psaltery wire! Shipped quickly as always. Love shopping at Folkcraft.
