Folkcraft® Mountain Dulcimer String Set, Bass, Ball Ends (.024"RW .032"RW .054"RW)

<p>They're finally here - our ball end string set with the melody, middle, and bass strings utilizing the best roller wound (RW) strings available. Roller wound strings squeak less than regular strings, of course (since they're flattened a bit with rollers), but more importantly for this string set, they're made of a brass alloy (instead of the more commonly-found bronze alloy).<br><br>Bronze tends to give a warmer tone quality, but brass, especially with baritone and bass strings, tends to provide the player with a LOT more clarity. The instrument isn't as "muddy", which is a common problem for baritone and bass dulcimers.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Strings in this set:<br></strong>Melody string: .024RW<br>Middle string: .032RW<br>Bass string: .054RW</p><p>Available only in ball end, and only in 3-string sets (going for that clarity again!), this is the string set we're using on the Folkcraft-built bass dulcimers.</p>
