Chapman Stick
The Chapman Stick is a musical instrument devised by Emmett Chapman in the late 1960s. It looks similar to a guitar or bass but has many more strings (10 on a standard model with a wide range of variations). Instead of one hand fretting and the other hand plucking, both hands sound notes by touching the strings to the frets.This arrangement lends itself to playing multiple lines at once and many stick players have mastered performing bass, guitar and vocal lines simaltaneously.
