Established in 1968, by Michael & Howard Rugg
of Felton California,
FolkRoots was one of the early companies to commercially
produce Appalachian dulcimers. The FolkRoots
"California" dulcimer style is characterized by it's
deep body (2 1/4") and longer scale length (29 1/4")
giving it more volume than traditional dulcimers. Body
dimensions are 36 1/2" long X 7 3/4" wide. Fingerboard
width is 1 3/8". All solid woods, metal tuning gears and
ebony nuts & bridges are standard. In 1989 Folkcraft
purchased FolkRoots and moved manufacturing to its
facility in Connecticut.
Short Scale (27") available by special order at no
additional charge Please
specify when ordering (not available on Baritone
Models.) Cases are not
included on Folkroots and Folkcraft Dulcimers.
Price: $360.00
