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. :)

The Peach Pickers in GA are getting ready for a Patriotic playout in May/June. This book by Judy House is getting a workout. The songs are written well. . .and we are having the time of our lives getting ready for a fun outing.
I love all the songs in this book!
Both the tuning pegs and dulcimer strings are great! They make my dulcimer sound better and it’s easier to tune. I am new to playing the dulcimer and I emailed to ask a few questions and he was extremely helpful and replied within the same day. I highly recommend using Folkcraft for all your instrument needs!
Great price, prompt shipping!

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!
