Thanks for the video on how to install on a scroll-head dulcimer. That made the job easy!
They are great! I usually use the red but keep switching to the others. My instructor recommended the Herdim because "you don't hear a click" when it touches the string, and it's true!
Rick was friendly and took time to explain. He was prompt in sending the items I needed. He advised me what to do about wood cracking behind my hammered dulcimer. We talked about other hammered dulcimers.
Terrific 1st Step for new dulcimer students. Great reference book for later review.
Heidi's artful arrangements of less common Holiday season tunes are delightful to hear and to play
Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer String Set, Loop Ends (.011" .011" .013" .024"RW)
Excellent wonderful tabs for multi parts.
The chromatic maxdad is the fun one because it sounds like a whole dulcimer choir from standard all the way down to bass. BTW the maxdad option on any dulcimer should have its own fretboard, 5 tuners on a traditional flathead (or contemporary flat head if possible) since it has 5 strings equally spaced apart.
Very pleased with the quality of the Quick Release Dulcimer Strap. Great workmanship.
This is a great book for new dulcimer players. It starts with basic strums and then moves into some songs.
Herdim Pick, 3-In-1 Sampler Pack (Four Of Each Color)
If you like the blues this book is great. Besides all the blues scales there many tunes that are fun to learn and play.
Excellent quality and fast shipment!
Great people to deal with great service thanks
A rather nice song bag, full of the charm of Milne's books and a bit more tuneful than Pooh's tum-te-tums, but overall most satisfying for someone - like me - who has always loved the simplicity and wisdom of a humble bear of purported very little brain. Now I have something to bring with me to share when I revisit the Hundred Acre Wood. Another, please.
