The Stick is a fretboard based percussive instrument intended to allow a single player the polyphony of a piano and the fluidity of a guitar. Though it can be strummed or plucked, the Stick is better suited to “tapping” in a manner similar to playing a keyboard, but in the upright posture of a guitar.

When properly set up and amplified the Stick is capable of a vast array of sounds. With practice, one can achieve a comfortable balance between two handed (ten finger) independence and single note rapid fire articulation. Like playing the piano or the drum kit, practicing independence is crucial to your level of execution.


You said this better than i could have. This is what i like about the stick, and why i think its such a great instrument.
