Tapping strings

Abby Clutario and her Chapman Stick Abby Clutario, of the bands fuseboxx and HUMANFOLK, with her 10-string Chapman Stick. It was my first time to see one and I found it so fascinating, I ended up interviewing her about it. Apparently, it's been around since the 1970s and can have 8 to 12 strings. You can read more about it in its Wikipedia entry.

  2. Musicians in one of my favorite bands (King Crimson) have been using this for years. It's certainly a fascinating and flexible instrument.
