Folkcraft customers speak out!
I received my 1st order quickly, unfortunately, the package was mismarked and the wrong strings were enclosed. I contacted and had an immediate response. The correct strings were shipped the next day at no charge & no hassle. This is a company with great standards and customer service. I will defintely being doing more business w/them in the future. Outstanding!
Well built Easy on and easier off
Was exactly what I was looking for. Shipping was fast. Will purchase from them again.
I have quite a few dulcimers and try to change strings fairly frequently - every 3-5 months. This order is an economical way, coupled with other bulk string orders, to do that. Thanks.
My only complaint is that the description is a little lacking. The four pack includes two left hand tuners and two right hand tuners. As a total novice to string instruments, I had no idea there was a difference. If your peg head design calls for four of the same, plan ahead. Otherwise, they look sharp and work well. I just ordered more.
I just finished building my first dulcimer with supplies from Folkcraft. I'm very pleased with the items I received, in fact I'm planning my next order.
For the rank beginner that I am, this book is perfect. I'd recommend it to any beginner.
Love the color and fit of this strap!
I have quite a few dulcimers and like to change strings every 2-3 months, depending on how often each dulcimer is played. This product, coupled with other size strings, is an excellent and economical way to do that.
At the suggestion of Richard Ash, I bought this set of twelve .016 strings to replace all the .015 strings in my standard Folkcraft 3 string sets that I had on hand. The .016 string (middle string) is what both Bing Futch and Dave Haas use. Also, Bing Futch's string gauge calculator also suggests a .016 middle string, to more evenly match the string tensions for the 3 strings. So, by getting these 12 strings, all my Folkcraft strings sets are fixed and ready to go. I just hope Folkcraft starts using .012, .016, .024 in their sets before I need to buy more....hint, hint Richard. :)
