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. - -![Grand Stick after arrival in Shanghai](/images/posts/stick.jpg) - -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.
