Hey there. My name is CarlanGracie and I am new here.

My question to all of you is how did you find your stick?

About 10 years ago I remember seeing a Stick and the instrument fascinated me. About a year ago I started having dreams about having this instrument. It is as if this instrument was calling out to me in my dreams. So, I started to do more research about Emmett and his creation.

My problem is that I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I have been trying to find stick players here.

I am hoping that maybe someone on this site can help me find someone that can teach me.

thank you for your advice!

CarlanGracie -

Welcome. And many blessings on your search.

I had similar dreams around 1993. I never held or touched one until my first Stick was delivered to my door from Stick Enterprises in 1996.

There should be someone in Brazil somewhere. I know there are numerous Stick players in all of South America, mostly in Argentina, I believe. I keep in touch with a woman that plays in Chile.

In the meantime, connect with Guillermo Cides via this website: https://www.stickistas.com/ - he is the premier Spanish Stick player and gatherer of the Spanish Stick playing masses.

Stay on this list. You will meet players, find used Sticks for sale, and receive much inspiration in the meantime.

Keep in touch!

thank you baggethouse for your response!
In Brazil, we speak Portuguese but I am also fluent in English.

If anyone plans to visit Brazil who is selling a stick or can give lessons, I will pay you.

Bah! I knew that. I think..

Keep your eyes open here for a used Stick. We'll help you determine if a good deal comes up. Unless you can pay for a new one from Stick Enterprises.

All the best to you!
