Folkcraft customers speak out!
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
A nice book with great songs. Works well when you want so quiet downtime and soothing music
I like all of his books so far very beautiful arrangements well printed to read easily
I have quite a few of his books the arrangements are very beautiful and not to difficult to play for beginners
The website is clear and easy to navigate with great photos, sound samples and descriptions. The folks on the phone are receptive and encouraging. The solid quality of the dulcimers and the broad catalogue of resources for encouraging and equipping players to grow in their musicianship is commendable. And sign up for the weekly newsletter, very informative, reflective with good humor and fun!
Ordered a plan for an OM with a cutaway. Shipped quick.
Would shop here again.
This order completes my string inventory. I now have strings for changing most of my dulcimers, at every string gauge. More economical to order in bulk than individual string packets.
