from 3410 reviewsThis is great quality brass wire! However, I'm not using it for musical instrument strings, so I can't give you a valid description of tone or playability. I actually used this wire as filler rod for a very special cold TIG welding project. As far as that went, the wire produced beautiful welds, that when dressed & polished, were indistinguishable from the original metal.
I liked these books because the arrangements are beautiful and the songs include a melody version and an accompaniment version.
Great tone! The smooth windings on the bass strings really cuts down on the string squeak and gives you nice smooth slides. I'm very happy with mine!
Used these strings for two home made Teardrop dulcimers that I've made and they sound real nice. Using The Folkcraft Anchor pins is the easiest way to go for attachment points.
Using accurate measurements and a good Fret Saw real easy to install!
Great value! I have quite a few dulcimers and change strings regularly. Purchasing packets like this is an economical way to maintain my dulcimers.
Perfect place to get the specific strings that I need.
I love finding these older Celtic songs that sound so wonderful on the Dulcimer
Thought this would be a fun book to try the whistle. It has all the finger holds and has cords for the dulcimer but does not have tabs
A very nice book with beautiful arrangements looking forward to it
I like the old Celtic songs on a dulcimer they really shine this book doesn't disappoint
