Ron Gibson Dulcimer Strings
There is nothing more frustrating than breaking a string - and not having a replacement! Always keep a couple of spare sets....
Most pre-packaged Mountain Dulcimer strings contain a nickel wound bass string. But as experienced musicians know, nickel wound strings are for electric guitars - not acoustic instruments. My dulcimer strings use only phosphor bronze or 80/20 bronze wound strings for a crisp, clean, true acoustic sound.
Each package contains two full sets of dulcimer strings.

Dulcimer NoterA noter is used to slide up and down the melody string instead of fretting the string with your finger. There is a long tradition of the noter playing style and it produces a unique sound that is especially effective when playing faster, fiddle style melodies. It is also a great method to use as a beginning dulcimer player if you find pressing the strings with your fingers uncomfortable. So before you give up learning to play the dulcimer .... try a noter!!! These noters are solid oak, 3/8" diameter and approximately 4" long. Price $6 (Click To Enlarge)

American Made Dulcimer CapoCapos allow a Mountain Dulcimer to change keys or modes by "clamping" the strings at a particular fret and thereby raising the pitch of the dulcimer (without retuning the strings. To return to the original key, simply remove the capo. This is a fast, easy way to play in different keys and explore different modes. A capo also comes in handy when playing with other musicians regardless of the instrument. This is style of capo has become the standard in the dulcier world. Nearly every dulcimer player carries one in their case. It is made of wood with a brass screw that applies pressure to the side of the neck to hold the capo in place. It includes heavy rubber padding to protect the dulcimers finish. Price $18.50 (Click To Enlarge)

Dulcimer String WinderMost modern dulcimers are equipped with geared tuning keys. Geared tuners greatly increase tuning accuracy, but it takes several turns of the knob to turn the string post once. With a 14:1 Grover tuner the knob must turn 14 times to turn the string post once. This is great for precise adjustments, but can be tedious when changing or replacing strings. The solution is a string winder! It lets you spin the tuning key at about 10 times the normal rate. This is a must have for playing live. When you break a string people get bored pretty quickly watching someone twisting on a tuning key for several minutes! Price $6.50 (Click To Enlarge)  |
Dulcimer Picks
It is good to have a variety of picks available as some are better for certain playing styles and techniques and all produce slightly different tones. In general, many people find a thin pick to work better for fast strumming and a medium pick for melody or single string playing. Of course, a thinner pick produces more clicking sounds than a heavier pick. Also, a heavier pick will produce a little more volume.

Fender F-355 (thin) These picks may be the most common used for dulcimers. They have three picking edges and are larger than a normal guitar pick so they are easier to hold. I frequently use these for fast strumming. Price: $1 ea.  |
Fender F-355 (medium) This is the same popular pick but in a slightly heavier gauge. Many people like these for playing single not styles. Price: $1 ea. |
Fender F-346 (thin) These picks have three picking edges and can be held a little more firmly than the larger picks. Price: $1 ea.  |
Herdim H-1 These picks are very popular with dulcimer players. They have three picking edges with each edge having a different thickness. The center section is textured for better grip. Price: $1 ea.  |
|
Clayton Cork Grip These picks were very popular many years ago and have been re-released as they say, by popular demand. They are shaped like a standard guitar pick but feature a cork in the center for better grip. Price: $1 ea.  |
Dunlop D-1 (medium-thin 0.5mm) These Dunlop picks have three picking edges and are made of a flexible, very durable synthetic material. These work well for both picking and strumming and produce very little pick noise (clicking). These are the picks I use most often. Price: $1 ea.  |
Dunlop D-2 (medium 0.6mm) These are the same picks as the Dunlop D-1 only in a slightly thicker version. Price: $1 ea.  |
Black Raven (medium-thin 0.5mm) These picks are made of the same material as the Dunlop picks with three picking edges. I use these for dulcimer, guitar, mandolin and pretty much anything with strings. Price: $1 ea.
