What Is A Chapman Stick?

Here is a brief video on how the Chapman Stick works and it's tuning for people who are not familiar with this unique instrument. I am often asked, what is that instrument you are playing. The Stick was invented in 1974 by Emmett Chapman from Southern California. I will be releasing a book with much more information about The Stick and Emmett Chapman.
