This is the most beautiful instrument. The sound is so much better than the one I was using. That old one is a toy compared to my Folkcraft.
Always highest quality products at Folkcraft Instruments. Very pleased!
Very Good!
Fantastic experience every step along the way. All of my questions were answered quickly and completely. My Folkcraft mountain dulcimer is beautiful and made with skilled craftsmanship. I love how it sounds even though I am a complete beginner. Hoping I can do it justice at some point!
Many folks are experiencing the ease of playing noter/drone style. This book is a great resource for tunes to play in with a noter or finger dancing. The tunes are well chosen and the tab is easy to follow. Learning and playing these tunes will give the player many hours of joyful playing..
Meeting Mandy in person (after devouring her Youtube channel) was so well worth my three-hour drive! I had been playing the mountain dulcimer for only two months and felt very welcomed. There were seasoned musicians present and Mandy taught us all something. Mandy's gentle, cheerful spirit resonated with me. I would go again any time!
I have researched my dulcimer that was recently updated by Richard with new frets but that was made in Connecticut in 2004. The case is perfect and I’m so glad this model is still part of your line. Great instrument!
I ordered strings from Folkcraft for my new mountain dulcimer. It was my first time ordering anything and I had questions about what strings I should get. I talked to the sales person there and he was so helpful. I was very happy with my order and my experience. Would definitely shop there again. Thank you!
very satisfied, I only buy from folkcraft because I like the quality and speedy shipping.
Should have been a spiral bound book.
This was my first order. It was simple to do as the website was easy to navigate.
I needed new strings and picked up a capo while shopping.
I will definitely order from here again.
I got my case with my Folkcraft bass dulcimer, which fits great in it. The logo is soooo cute, eye catching for sure. I think best of all is the really big pocket that can fit music or even my 3 ring binder with no problem.
I purchased just in time for one of the Saturday classes. I had not used a capo before and this one served me well at class to get started. Looking forward to trying new things with it.
