Theyre 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 theyre flattened a bit with rollers), but more importantly for this string set, theyre made of a brass alloy (instead of the more commonly-found bronze alloy).
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 isnt as "muddy", which is a common problem for baritone and bass dulcimers.
Available only in ball end, and only in 3-string sets (going for that clarity again!), this is the string set were using on the Folkcraft-built bass dulcimers.
Using strings handmade in the USA, this set for bass dulcimer includes the following gauges:
