Remember the first time you plucked your mountain dulcimer and those clear, haunting melody lines filled the room? Over time, strings wear out, losing their brightness and response. Folkcraft's loop end string set gets you back there fast, with a precise gauge combo tuned for the dulcimer's unique voice.
Old strings sag, buzz, or just sound flat, throwing off your chords and drones. This set fixes that: two lightweight .011-inch melody strings for sparkling highs, a .013-inch middle string for smooth transitions, and a beefy .024-inch bronze-wound bass that delivers warm depth without overpowering. Phosphor bronze wrapping on the bass resists corrosion, so they stay vibrant longer, even in humid spots like a guitar case or mountain cabin.
Loop ends slip right onto your bridge pins—no tools, no fuss. Tension them up gradually, tune to DAD (or your favorite open tuning), and you're strumming folk tunes, hymns, or originals again. Players love how they settle in quickly, holding pitch through long jam sessions or porch picks.
Think about firing up "Shady Grove" or a gentle waltz—the melody strings sing sweetly over that resonant bass thrum. It's the kind of tone that draws listeners in, whether you're at a festival, family gathering, or solo practice. These aren't generic strings; they're crafted by Folkcraft for mountain dulcimers, matching the scale and playability you expect.
Durable enough for beginners building calluses or pros gigging weekly. They handle alternate tunings without flopping and provide consistent feel under your fingers. Keep a spare set handy—your dulcimer will thank you with every note.
Grab these mountain dulcimer strings and rediscover why you fell for the instrument. Clear tone, reliable performance, straightforward install. What more could your dulcimer ask for?
