The Chapman® Stick

The Chapman® Stick was invented by Emmet Chapman in 1974, and with this new instrument came Emmett’s “Free Hand” technique – designed to allow the musician to simultaneously play bass notes, chords and melodies by tapping the strings instead of plucking or strumming them, like more traditional guitars and basses.

The Stick is an intriguing and musically engaging solo instrument and the bedrock of our ensemble.
