[Dixielandjazz] Chapman Stick

[David Richoux]

I happened to pick up a used one in Los Angeles about 15 years ago -  
it is a very interesting instrument. Some guitarist and electric bass  
players have also developed "string tapping" styles of playing with  
similar results.

There is a range of Chapman Sticks still in production -
http://www.stick.com/ but I don't know how well they might work in an  
OKOM band ;-)
(they have to be amplified...)
