Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer String Set, Baritone, Loop Ends (.014" .014" .022BW" .036"BW)

The delivery process went very smooth. Strings look great. I've yet to install them. Anxious to do so.

I chose the 3-string set for my baritone dulcimer because I was having difficulty pressing cleanly on the double .014 strings in the treble position and 2 .013 strings didn't ring clear enough. I decided to try the set with the single .016 string in the treble position and am happy with the result. It rings clear. I still need some padding on my thumb as I slide my thumb and it tends to get sore. A few layers of liquid bandage and cotton do the trick. I highly recommend this set of strings!

These baritone strings have a really rich, warm tone and are easy on the fingers. All I want to do is play my baritone now!

I installed Folkcrafts bass dulcimer strings on my bass, and it now sounds great as a solo instrument. With the prior strings the dulcimer was great for accompanying but effective as a solo with only some tunes. Now it does justice to any melody so I'm playing it a lot more. The difference is the bronze wound strings and the thin (for a bass) .022 melody strings. Because of the depth of my dulcimer both melody strings are needed to produce sufficient volume. But the two unison strings blend beautifully with the other two.

The strings go on easy and sound good. Richard is always willing to help me decide which strings. Thank you.
