| Plus from Us! Ugh! Thanks! It's been years for me, too. I just remember listening to a lot of stick music back then and Greg mentioning "Cloud About Mercury" made me think of it. I don't listen to much tapping music, ironically. I'm gonna have to check this stuff out. Can anyone recommend ... |

| Yes, the clarity is awesome. There is some significant crosstalk in mine, despite the wide gap between regions on the Phalanx. This is due to the instrument's mass. I generally use a gate on the melody side to circumvent this problem, unless I need feedback (the Phalanx is really good for that as we... |

Hey Greg,
Word up on the "Cloud About Mercury" thing. Used to love that CD. This is a good thread. I also loved Levin's contribution to Peter Gabriel's compilation of world music. Can't remember the name. It was him on just one song. Can anyone help me out?

| What do you use then? I use a regular guitar strap. Mine is a bit wider than most, and I'm a strappin' lad so the 14+ lbs. weight is OK for a while. I move a lot, so I take breaks every now and again. It helps that my band's instrumentation also consists of bass... I like the maple neck as well. My... |

| Yes, the Warr tone is monstrous. Bartolinis either sound great on an instrument or they sound really bland. I suspect the instrument really has to be tailored for their inclusion, but I don't know anything about those technical aspects. I do miss the wiry sound of the low end on the stick every now ... |

| OK. I just watched several videos of Bob Culbertson playing one. I don't really know why Emmett decided not to make this instrument a part of his line. It is totally unique in the tapping realm, has a superior sound, and looks cool. I'm assuming (again) that it is cost of production that is the road... |

I confess my skepticism, but would totally love to see you play one with a bow, and I'm totally humbled by the Stickdudes.

I would very much like to see you play one with a bow.
Um, so, Tetrachord... is that Traktor Topaz?
