Folkcraft customers speak out!
Just what I wanted to figure out how to properly do an OM guitar with a cutaway especially at the neck block. Thanks. Peace.
I love the simplicity of the stand. It is beautiful, well crafted, and works great. They do an outstanding job protecting it in shipping as well.
I have several dulcimers. Buying strings in bulk is an economical way to have a good supply on hand for changing.
Always count on Folkcraft to provide excellent products. They will also actually talk or email if you have a question about the product or its' use.
Great Customer service
I belong to a group of medieval reenactors. They always tell me that an Appalachian dulcimer is not medieval. True, but the old langeleik and hummel ARE. With this book, I can play for my group.
An excellent kit to assemble. Went together nicely. I did watch Banjo Lemonade do her YouTube video's which helped and she gave some tips as well. I did change the strings and made it a baritone and it sounds really good.
Great product. The service was prompt.
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.
