Folkcraft® Bronze Wound Strings, Loop Ends, Pack Of Twelve, .028

Good Service

Rick was friendly and took time to explain. He was prompt in sending the items I needed. He advised me what to do about wood cracking behind my hammered dulcimer. We talked about other hammered dulcimers.

My dulcimer sounds right for the first time in years!

Thanks for walking me through ordering a whole new set of strings. It now sounds beautiful, for the first time in a long time replacing one at a time, or using the wrong gauge. Now it sings.

perfect for monochord

I used these strings for my first instrument design, a tambura-style "monochord" on solid mahogany board. So I don't have anything to compare them against, but having said that, I am very happy with their sound - exactly what I was looking for. The fact that they come in a set of 12 with a loop-end turned out to be very convenient. Their length was only slightly longer than what I actually needed so that was perfect as well. Rather than buying a bulk spool and cutting strings from this and attempting to make loop-ends myself, this set of strings looks far more consistent and professional. That makes it worth it that they are slightly more pricey per unit. Also, upon delivery I took them out of their package and hung them on their loop-ends on nails in the wall (organized by the different dimensions I bought) which makes it very convenient to store, access and use the strings.
