Folkcraft customers speak out!
I’ve only had strings on it for a couple days but so far the pins are doing what they’re supposed to and for the amount ajd the price the two orders I needed weren’t had.
I purchased Nuts/Bridges through the site White ones and Brown ones through Amazon, so I have choices. They are made of Delrin and work wonderfully. Delrin is a thermoplastic renowned for its metal-like strength, outstanding dimensional stability, and low coefficient of friction so it is wonderful for this application. I recommend the "Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer Nuts And Bridges, Bone Delrin, 1 3/8" Wide, Pack Of Six"
I've ordered from Folkcraft several times and always been pleased with the quality of product and prices. With the rapidity in which the order was handled. I would like to see the website made a little more user friendly. A better way of finding the part/product you need that scrolling through many pages. Thanks
Any string gage I’ve needed I’ve been able to find at Folkcraft
Folkcraft makes it easy and convenient to find the right strings for your dulcimer, and then buying in bulk is the cream on top!
I had it spiral bound. Lays flat. A great collection of song
Attractive and easy to install
A fine tuner which attaches with ease. Love it
After consulting with Folkcraft, purchased a protective case for my Folkcraft Kantele. Great quality and price, arrived in a short time. Good look and better protected. Great dealing with them as always
Thank you for helpfully answering my questions regarding these strings!
Love these music books way back when and still do today.
It was a miracle. I needed 10 copies of this book immediately and I caught Richard as he was moving out of his current office. He said he could get them to to me. AND HE DID. Ten gorgeous, spiral bound copies arrived early. Thank you, Richard.
I have been building dulcimers for decades and have purchased most of the hardware for the instruments from Folkcraft due to the quality of the parts, reasonable price, and the excellent customer service. Highly recommend!
