Folkcraft Instruments

This is an outstanding addition to the catalog of MD instructional books. Aaron provides seven sets of variations on a basic tune, by varying first the rhythmic pattern, then melody tweaks, harmonic chords, and finally a mix-and-match blending of all four. A practical approach to eclectic playing, especially useful for advanced-beginner and intermediate players.

In this book, Bing does a great job providing the new player with comprehensive information about playing the mountain dulcimer. A good place to begin your mountain dulcimer journey.

I Love this book, it was recommended to me by Richard Ash on a recent visit to Folkcraft. This beautiful collection of classical music is most accurately tabbed and enjoyable to play

Haven't used them yet but they look nice.

Good service fast shipping. Thanks.

These picks I find seem to be the best for dulcimers.

I'm just starting to play a Dulcimer. I have a Jim Fox Dulcimer and changed strings for the first time and really like the sound of Folkcraft definitely better than what was on it.

I want to try out a Mountain Dulcimer and bought a kind of beat-up John and Shirley Naylor model on Ebay. Part of the nut was missing and boy was I happy to find Folkcraft's replacement in just the right size. I followed instructions on YouTube on replacing a guitar nut and now have my little dulcimer cleaned off and singing beautifully.

The selection found in the book is a good cross section of the old hymns. For those who are moving beyond the basic traditional style, you can still use the book and strum along, but with this book you can start using chords and at the same time start picking single notes over the course of the tune for a strum and pick combination. For those who only have a basic set of chord at their disposal, this book will help expand skills, and delight the ear, moving from the basics, to those chords beyond.
This is a great book for beginners, those looking to expand their skills, and those who already have a great repertoire of chords in their skill-set, only needing to have “sheet music” for unfamiliar tunes.

I've never been disappointed by the quality of your strings. Makes the dulcimer sound so good and when I put new ones on the touch is so much better. Love buying in bulk so I can change strings often as I play alot.

Over the years, I've used any number of brands of strings on my dulcimers and over those years I've learned that its not just about the wire. I've developed a feel for what I like. And with Folkcraft, I like what I feel. Good job, folks.

I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve gotten from Folkcraft. They only sell top quality merchandise.

My husband will receive his Folkcraft gift card this Friday for his birthday. It was so easy to purchase and I know he's going to love it: he's been talking for some time about a dulcimer he's designing. This card will make it easier for him to get started on the build! Thank you, Folkcraft, for making this a special birthday for him!

Very nice product and easy to install. Next time I’ll measure and get the right size. First time buyer so I learned to always double check things before you ordet. 😒

I found this book to be easier for me to learn from and it explains things better., as I've never played a MD before and I'm not musically incline.
