   After watching this demo, I don’t know why the Chapman Stick hasn’t entered Music Conservatories world wide!

   He has developed a harpsichord on a stick, with expression – vibrato, bending – as well. This is a true conjunction of the keyboard and string family.

   Anyone spot the Stravinsky rite of spring quotation? : )

6. thebigbadjohnsmith, on February 20th, 2009 at 11:38 am Said:

   What, octaves?
   That is almost by definition no harmony, lol. Its a scale that he’s playing in parallel octaves; even the scale itself is quite dark [[ that doesn't mean it isn't beautiful though : ) ]]

   Come on, do no guitar people here listen to Stravinsky? Emmett Chapman does! Can ANYONE spot the Sacre du Printemps [Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring'] quotation? I’ll give you a clue – video editing is used to highlight it.

   P.S. This is just for fun, so please don’t take me as a perdantic fop for asking if anyone knows Stravinksy’s work – its probably his most famous piece btw! : )

   You mean the bit between 4.25-4.30 ? Could be le Sacre but isn’t it a bit general ?

   As a Stick player since 1976 (that makes me kind of an old guy, (going to the gym, working on it.),). I must say that this vid shows Mr. Chapman’s invention from A to Z. I use his tuning and technics every day on my gigs and recordings. Thank you Mr. Chapman, God Bless you your family,

    Sean Malone of “Gordian Knot” has replaced the piano and uses his Sticks primarily in teaching a variety of music classes, from Basic Theory upward at The University of Oregon. There’s one example…

    Most under-appreciated as a musician, a luthier and an inventor. A pioneer in his own right.
