The kit is excellent , all the parts fit well. It was a joy to build it yourself . Now I just have to learn to play it . Thank you Folkcraft for a fine product . D Kitson
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.
My husband & I play Mountain Dulcimers. Several of our grandchildren have showed an interest in learning and playing with us. We opted to try Folkcraft cardboard dulcimer for them to start learning to play. The kits arrived intact and with all the necessary pieces. The instructions were clear and concise. We also watched Mandy’s YouTube videos for more detail on assembly. Both dulcimers turned out great! They are a little quiet, but the tone and sustain is remarkable! Thank you Richard and fellow luthiers! Your excellent product is helping to insure the next generations will love the mountain dulcimer too.
I think they’re great. Little concerned about how they will hold up. Think it should be painted. Enjoyed putting it together.
We bought 5 cases of "Pack of five cardboard kits" for a Dulcimer build adult program at our Library. They were packed and counted very professionally and every piece was there. Looking at all the pieces, their "quality control" is impeccable. High quality, even for a cardboard kit. I assembled one my self and it plays very well. I am a Classical Guitar, and Mandolin teacher for 21 years. I know quality. If you want to start a program, like this in your community or school, these kits are the way to go. Customer service is easy to get hold of too. Give these kits a try, you won't be sorry.
