  • I'm a writer and performer for various stringed instruments. Ever since I've discovered this instrument I've wanted to know more. I want to buy one. I know how I should go about getting one, but I simply want to know what kind of budget I should have for this. I know when I was shopping for guitars and basses I liked to shoot my budget anywhere from 900 to 1300 new for an instrument just based on quality and craftsmanship. Does anybody know what range I could be looking at for the chapman stick?

  • @MattTMcCool New Sticks are between $2000 and $3000. The manufacturer is Stick Enterprises. One thing I tell people is that used Sticks sell for almost the same as new ones. The bad news is cheap ones are hard to find. The good news is you can buy one try it for a while and get almost or all of your money back if it is not for you.

  • how does it play? i mean all i see that u are tapping it not actually play it

  • @assofan Good question, i get asked this even when people are standing 8 feet away. I am tapping and holding the string on to the fret. As soon as the string hits the fret it vibrates (think of hitting a dowel rod on the edge of a table, the part hanging over vibrates) There is enough vibration for the magnetic pick-up at the bottom to amplify the sound. You will see guitar and bass players doing the same thing. The Stick is set up primarily to be played this way.

    Hope this helps
