The Folkcraft FSH Series mountain dulcimer has a traditionally-sized body – 6 1/2” wide, 1 3/4” tall – and has a clear, beautiful tone. Choose the wood you want as well as the head and sound hole design. Our FSH Series dulcimers are reminiscent of early Kentucky dulcimers, and they have a traditionally sized body, and a softer, more delicate tone than our larger California-style dulcimers. Here's an article about Kentucky bodies and California bodies. The FSH Series mountain dulcimer has a 1 3/8" wide fretboard.

Each of our handmade dulcimers comes with our best soft carrying case, made here in the Folkcraft workshop. Our rigid case, which offers more protection, is available for an upcharge. Strap buttons are also included.

There are a lot of options to choose when designing an instrument for us to make for you. We have a reference/resource page here, and you're always welcome to contact us for help and guidance in making great choices.

Please allow us three to four months for shipping on your custom-built instrument.

I absolutely love my new dulcimer and sincerely appreciate the artistic quality. It is a beautiful traditional instrument, and it has a lovely pure sound. I am a new dulcimer player and this dulcimer just fits. It was well worth the wait! Thank you

Love my beautiful FSH Butternut/Cherry Dulcimer!

The instrument is everything I wanted and more. I had very specific set-up requirements due to fairly severe arthritis in my left hand. I need the action as low as possible as well as slightly lighter strings than are standard on a 25” VSL. I’d spoken to several other dulcimer builders in my quest for a dulcimer to meet my needs, and they were all reticent to go outside their usual box to accommodate me. Not Richard! He made sure to set up my dulcimer exactly per my requirements. Not only does it play exactly like I wanted it to (so easily!), its sound it absolutely captivating, clear as bell, with lovely sustain. And it plays in absolutely perfect tune, yay! I’m also impressed with the exquisite attention to detail in the finishing, the outstanding craftsmanship, every aspect perfection. The look of the wood chosen for the instrument takes my breath away! One of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
