Re: what do you do for a living beside chapman stick
I’m retired now! I take care of the dog, make things, play a little with headphones only, and take naps.
This is good.

Re: what do you do for a living beside chapman stick
I'm a full-time, tenured professor of music speciallizing in popular music and jazz studies. I actually use my Stick in my theory classes, especially when it comes to inversions. I recital every other semester on the instrument.

Re: what do you do for a living beside chapman stick
Doctoral candidate in music, but I also teach music, do some freelance composition, board member and electronics musician for a contemporary music ensemble, and some production work. I used to do some stage hand work and FOH but I'm glad I'm out of that now.

Re: what do you do for a living beside chapman stick
I am an electronic engineer working for a semiconductor company. You might be surprised how many engineers are also good musicians. I started out musically with the woodwinds (sax, clarinet, flute...) and expanded to the guitar in my late teens. The Chapman Stick is my first instrument where I need to master hand independence (I should have learned piano in my youth). The Stick has been quite the challenge for this reason, but I am getting there.

Re: what do you do for a living beside chapman stick
Former software engineer, data analyst & business analyst. I retired four years ago, Jan 2017. I've been studying guitar for 30 years, but didn't find a decent teacher until about 10 years ago. That actually got me to studying music, which has now only gotten "worse" since I have more time to go down music rabbit-holes. Since retiring, I started learning bass, picked up a cheap keyboard (an 88-key Casio piano), and 15 months ago started drum lessons (hello hand independence!! ). Having been a woodworker for decades, I build solid-body electric guitars & basses, and was seriously thinking of trying to build a Stick, but realized it would be as much an engineering project as a lutherie project, essentially trying to learn on my first build what Emmet has taken 50 years to master. Came to my senses, and decided that maybe I just might have learned enough to actually learn to play the Stick before I turn into fertilizer.

Re: what do you do for a living beside chapman stick
Sounds familiar... former software architect for a large financial services company. I'm now retired - for all of a month and a half. Busier now than ever.
Started on woodwinds (clarinet, sax, oboe) many years ago, then guitar. Later Irish harp, tin whistle, and hammered dulcimer. Long time woodworker, although my bent is furniture, not musical instruments. The stick looks like something that can interest me for the rest of my life.
