Hi David,

Glenn wrote the code, Emmett took the pics, I'm putting it all together, but the people who deserve most of the credit are Grace and the rest of the people in the shop, who do such a great job making these instruments, and to Emmett who designed them, and spent so much time coming up with the right materials and processes for using them. They really are beautifully made, and the finish is quite care-free.

I'm slowly propagating these new shots throughout the website. So soon, every page will have pics that better represent what the instruments really look like. There are lots of pages on the site, though, so it will take a little time.

For example, this page shows the four different tuners on a variety of structural materials:

Tuners: http://www.stick.com/instruments/tuners/

More to come...

I love the stick web site because it has so much to offer.But what about, and I know most wouldn't need this, but then again..... What about a one stop tuning shop??? With audio examples of all the different tunings,broken down string by string?? Would it be helpful? Maybe, maybe not. Would it be a pain to set it up on the site? Probably. Forgive me if this sounds ridiculous.

Regarding the dyed bamboo finishes - do you know if there's a definitive list of colours available? (If so, where?) And (see my last post) is blue an option? If not, could it be considered as a new option??!

Hi David,

The official colors at this point are Natural Light, Natural Dark, Turquoise, Red, Salmon, and Yellow. You can see all of them together on this page:

http://www.stick.com/instruments/bamboo/

There will also be a Deeper Brown dark bamboo. The Red is currently called "sunset" on the hotshots page.

Emmett says they are looking for more colors. Thanks for the suggestions.

I actually have a light bamboo Stick dyed blue on order. So hopefully we'll get some shots in the coming months . I asked if they had blue, and they said they could mix some dye for me. So if you have a custom color in mind, it doesn't hurt to ask, they might be able to make it for you.
