"Does anyone remember the Chapman Stick? This is like that, from the 21st century digital age.

It looks like something played by the alien musicians in the bar in Star Wars. It can be made to sound like it too.

This is the Eigenharp - described by its developers as "the most expressive electronic musical instrument ever made". One of my colleagues calls it more simply "a sci-fi bassoon".

Spectrasonics Company announces they have published their "total bass module," which is called the Trilian total bass module. Eric Persing, who is the founder of Spectrasonics, says "our very first product was the best-selling bass legends sample library. Then in 2002, we introduced trilogy -- the world's first bass virtual instrument. Now we are pleased to release Trilian, which represents a whole new generation of our base development."

The program is designed from the ground up to be the most versatile bass virtual instrument available today with new levels of real-time performance for acoustic and electric basses, with full expression.

Acoustic and electric basses in Trilian are sampled at an extremely high level of detail. Over 60 different electric basses -- from 4 to 8 strings -- are recorded in Ingrid, Kate, threadless, slapped,, and muted technique variations, including Chapman Stick.

The Chapman Stick is a high-quality electric guitar made especially for two-handed tapping. But what if there was another instrument even better?

Would you be surprised to discover the Mobius Megatar instrument has features and sound going beyond the Stick? Compare and decide for yourself ...

Stick Enterprises, the manufacturer of the Chapman Stick (TM) tapping instrument has instruments with seven to twelve strings.

But so as to compare apples to apples, we'll consider only the instruments with the full twelve strings, and that narrows it down considerably. We'll compare the only Stick Enterprises instrument with the full twelve strings, the Grand Stick, with the simplest Mobius Megatar instrument, The TrueTapper Eclipse.

You may be surprised to discover how impressively the inexpensive TrueTapper Eclipse compares with the Grand Stick, when compared feature by feature.
