-The [Chapman Stick](http://stick.com) is a stringed instrument invented quite
-some time ago by [Emmett Chapman](http://www.emmettchapman.net). It is a blank
-slate equipped with a grid-like touchboard, two groups of stings and a powerful
-pickup allowing the player to tap notes rather than requiring fretting and
-strumming.

-I usually describe the Stick as being a guitar and a bass unified on one
-fretboard, though I think that it is much more than that. It rather combines
-the advantages of a piano over a traditionally stringed instument---such as
-tonal range---with the advantages of the fretted instruments, i.e. direct fine
-control over the sound through plain fingers on strings. More than that, it
-even expands on these concepts and brings a number of [improvements and innovations](http://stick.com/instruments/tunings/12/classic_66).
-
-Check out the [official website](http://stick.com) to read more about what sets
-apart the Stick from other tapping instruments.
-
-There's a documentary about Emmett and the Stick story in the make. You can
-[see the trailer here](http://www.chapdoc.com/trailer.html).

-I've received my first Stick---a 12-stringed Grand---in July 2009 and have just
-placed my order for an Alto Stick made from Indonesian Rosewood.
