New! On Megatar site … History of Emmett Chapman’s Stick
In Days of Yore, back before some touchstyle players were born, there was a Jimmie Webster and a Dave Bunker and others who experimented with two-handed tapping, and even developed methods of play. But none have gone so far and done so well as Emmett Chapman, whose development of the Stick instrument and his unique playing method have both enabled better and better two-handed tapping play.
His #1 Competitor, Mobius Megatar, pays homage to the pioneering develops of Mr. Chapman. Almost half of the instruments built and shipped out by Mobius Megatar are equipped with the unique "Inverted Fifths" tuning as developed by Chapman. See the website section regarding Chapman Stick tunings, and there learn the Chapman Stick, Design and Development by Emmett Chapman.
Mobius Megatar says, "Hail! Emmett Chapman!"
