Folkcraft® Rosette, Shield Cross Chain, Padauk, 1 1/2" Diameter
Regular price $11.00
Many different quality sound holes to choose from. They are very sturdy and add that unique look to your dulcimer.
Haven't used them yet but they look nice.
The flowering sun rosette from Folkcraft is a consistent favorite. It is difficult to find rosettes elsewhere and they are almost invariably Celtic which is not always appropriate for my instruments inspired more by Medieval Spain and Eastern Europe. Great product and service - I like the options and affordability.
I like the selections available and chose the ocean waves. I wish it came in just a bit smaller diameter. I use 2 forstner bits to create a ledge opening but the closest size bit I could find is 2 1/8” which is too small. I ended up sanding the rosettes and managed to break one in the process. I realize I can find another way to make the holes but the bits are just so easy. Other than that I’m very happy with them. The ordering and subsequent communication from Folkcraft is excellent.
Not the biggest order, but it was exactly what I needed to finish a fretless banjo. Beautiful design and really fast shipping.
