Top Quality
Although I've played various instruments for 40 years, I'm new to dulcimers and one of those people who has to have a few of the same instrument. I've purchased a few dulcimers from private professionals, but I have to say that Folkcraft's is the best quality I've put my hands on so far. The fit, finish, overall beauty and sound is by far my favorite. I have a full walnut custom teardrop that was on their "ready to ship" list. I looked at it for weeks before deciding to spend a little more than I planned, but I'm so glad I did. I also do woodworking, so I bought their plans to build my own. I've discovered a new source to help satisfy my musical needs! Thank you Richard and team.

Builds an excellent dulcimer
Dad and I had our doubts at first. We are not luthiers, so the instructions looked sparse and undetailed at first, but we successfully built a beautiful instrument that plays well and holds tune consistently. Will be purchasing more products from Folkcraft as we expand our knowledge of instrument building.

Teardrop Dulcimer Plan
Wishing it had at least a minor amount of instructions or ideas in the form of a small pamphlet or something. You get exactly what the picture shows (I should have realized that), as a novice woodworker it's overall pretty unhelpful.
