I’m writing this review because I came here to read reviews before I decided to go and the reviews I read were not what I found. I think this place must have changed in recent years. I had read the Google reviews and seen the pictures here and had an expectation of a showroom with many dulcimers to choose from. The larger building that apparently used to be the store is now a church, according to the sign out front, and the dulcimer shop is a very tiny space. There were two other customers there besides me and my husband and it really couldn’t have held more than another couple of people. There were literally no instruments except a few hammer dulcimers and two mountain dulcimers that the owner’s daughter was demonstrating on. When I told her we were interested in a dulcimer made there, she pointed to three dulcimers on the wall behind the cash register and said her dad was a year behind on taking orders for them and that those were waiting for their owners to come pick them up. The two dulcimers she was demonstrating on had been purchased from some where else and they are reselling them but those two were what we had to choose from. The daughter was extremely nice but it was a very odd experience. I think they should update the webpage to indicate they no longer have handmade items to purchase on site.

Very kind people very sweet people. I enjoyed my visit with wood and strings. I put one of the dulcimers on layaway there and will be picking it up very soon. Enjoy the town and the people at wood-n-strings

My only experience with this buisness was via internet. I give it a 3 because you can select "catalog" but when you get there there's not one price shown for any of the instruments. Sorry, but I don't trust any buisness that hides costs while encouraging you to "just give us a call."

Had a wonderful experience! Called ahead and they had several dulcimers in stock. I found just what I was looking for and got a short beginner's lesson to get me started. Found a beautiful hand-crafted American Chestnut dulcimer I will use in my classroom! ?

Fantastic owners that love their craft so much that they will keep the store open after closing time just to share with us about their handmade instruments. Their passion shows

My daughter loves her beginner dulcimer. The owner took his time explaining it to her. Wonderful place.
