Annoying Twit Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I've noted in a For Sale thread that people were discussing their Chapman Sticks. Disclaimer: I'm not going to be buying a Chapman Stick, I'm just curious. Any comments on what these instruments are like to play? Any recordings/Youtube videos by forumites?

oggiesnr Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I've tried playing one and it was a dismal failure. The problem I have is that I'm used to having both hands working together, eg I fret this note with the left and pluck that string with the right. Happens on most of the instruments I play. A stick requires dissociation of hands (like piano which I also struggle with) and so I rapidly concluded that much as I like the concept it was not for me.

RhysP Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 There's a Stick thread here if you've not seen it. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/164195-the-stick-thread/ I'm hopefully going to be getting another Stick in the next few weeks.
