Folkcraft® Black Walnut Hourglass Dulcimer Kit, 27" VSL

Dulcimer Kit

Order came promptly.

Nice kit

The kit I purchased came with beautiful wood that was nicely pre-finished. Unfortunately for me, the wrong sides were delivered with my kit, however Richard had them replaced right away - excellent customer service. One suggestion for improvement is to replace the dulcimer top finishing nails with nails that have small flat heads. The size of the finishing nails included with the kit are smaller than the recommended 1/16 inch holes to be drilled and therefore do not actually help to secure the top to the finger board.

Instructions could be clearer. Maybe a CD or Web instruction would be helpful. As a Luthier I made some Modifications for strength. All in all nice selection of wood but fret board a little rough.
