Mountain Dulcimer Strings
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 wound strings for a crisp, clean, true acoustic sound.
Each package contains two full sets of dulcimer strings.

Audio Cable for Dulcimers with Internal PickupThis high quality 10 ft long 1/4" audio cable is used to connect your dulcimer to an amplifier, PA system or effects unit.

Great quality cable at a great price. Price $12.95 (Click To Enlarge)  |
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)

Rosewood Dulcimer CapoA dulcimer capo allows you to easily change keys/modes
and makes it easier to play with other instruments. Simply place the capo near
the fret, push down on top and tighten the screw to hold it in place. Nearly every
dulcimer player carries one in their case. Fits dulcimers with a fretboard width of 1" to 1 ¾" Price $25    |
Cylinder Style Dulcimer CapoThis is a cylinder style capo allows for fast key
changes and is very easy to use. It tightens using a rotary knob on the side. Simply press
down on the bar and tighten the knob and you are ready to play. This capo will
last a lifetime with heavy rubber padding on the sides and silicone padding to
hold strings firmly in place without marring the dulcimer. Price $29.50

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  |
Dulcimer Picks
If you think about it... 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 These picks are one of the most commonly used for dulcimers because the larger size makes them easier to hold, the celluloid imparts a crisp, clear tone and they have three picking edges. I frequently use the thin for fast strumming. Price: $1 ea.  |
Fender F-346 These picks have three picking edges and can be held a little more firmly than the larger picks so are often used for single note styles like crosspicking but also work fine for strumming and chord/melody styles.. Price: $1 ea.  |
Dunlop Tortex These Dunlop picks have three picking edges and are very durable - they cannot break. They work well for both picking and strumming and produce very little pick noise. These are the picks I use most often for dulcimer as well as acoustic guitar. Price: $1 ea.  |
Dunlop Xtra Heavy These Dunlop picks are favored by many for both pick and light strumming. They are made of celluloid material for a bright, crisp tone. 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, "back by popular demand". They are shaped like a standard guitar pick but feature a cork in the center for better grip. If you have trouble holding a pick this may be a great problem solver. Price: $1 ea.  |
Everly Star Picks These patented picks come in four different grades of thickness so you can better "dial in" the one that works best for your playing style. The star cutout allows better grip and less dropping of picks into soundholes. Price: $1 ea.  |
Dunlop Prime Grip These picks are made of durable nylon for extremely long life and features a textured grip to prevent dropping. They come in two gauges. Price: $1 ea.  |
