Always appreciate Larry Conger’s arrangements. They are always a bit challenging for me but great music.
Great book for me to improve my playing with songs I know. 16 of the 50 songs require the 1 + fret, but some you can still play the melody. Good arrangements. Thanks.
Love the songs that are presented in the book, songs I grew up listening to. Some of my favorites require the 1+ fret, but I am still able to play the melody. This book is one that will encourage me to play better.
The pad holds my dulcimer secure on my lap! No more slipping. Great product!
Looks great, perfect size, love the stiching.
Perfect for needing extra room (38 inches, etc)
Excellent book, plenty of great songs from that golden era of folk music.
The parts are exactly as described and good quality. Shipping was quick!
Best price around for my bowed psaltery wire! Shipped quickly as always. Love shopping at Folkcraft.
This Celtic book is wonderful with wonderful tunes and arrangements.
This is a very well written book. He tell the basics on right and left handed techniques He gives you many exercises to practice playing. Very well done
I enjoy her publications. She does a nice job with song selection.
I'm looking forward to playing some of her arrangements this coming year! Thank you Folkcraft 😊
I’ve only used the manual for 10 minutes and I’ve already completed tabbing a song. Looking forward to diving deeper into the book.
Nina Zanetti does a fabulous job of explaining how to approach fingerpicking these wonderful tunes. It's my favorite dulcimer book!
GHS string buyer just switched to Folkcraft ball end warm strings. They completely changed the tone of my instrument from the “jing jing metallic sound” to a very warm sweet softer “sooush sooush” tone. Simply amazing!
I loved dealing with a creative artist.
Our small dulcimer group is always looking for new ensemble pieces to play, and Ellen Pratt’s books are great for that purpose. Nice that many songs even have baritone and/or bass parts.
David's books are my go to for beautiful melodies and clean easy to read tab.
Everything worked well, however, I did have some problems in placing the music items
into my prefered file.
So much fun to be able to play familiar Christmas songs on my dulcimer!
This dulcimer strap gets the job done very nicely. The length is very adjustable; the two-inch width feels very secure wrapped around my midsection; and the quick-release feature is very, very convenient (I wouldn't want a strap without it!). The plastic connectors for the quick-release mechanism seem very thick and robust so I'm not worried about them slipping out during use (or breaking over time). No complaints whatsoever.
I've experimented with all three wrights of the Herdim picks (blue, red, yellow). The blue are too stiff for me, and while the yellow feel great to play, strum sounds in particular sound a bit thin to me. But red is just right: they sound great and full, while not being so stiff as to get in the way of rapid strumming (and work for picking too). Highly recommended!
I bought it as it is easy to play on the hammer dulcimer. The music is lovely. The intro only has tablature, so I am having to figure out an intro.
