Answers:
a Stick looks like a wide version of the fretboard of an electric guitar, with 8, 10 or 12 strings!. It is considerably longer and wider than a guitar fretboard, however!. Unlike the electric guitar, it is usually played by tapping or fretting the strings, rather than plucking them!. Instead of one hand fretting and the other hand plucking, both hands sound notes by striking the strings against the fingerboard just behind the appropriate frets for the desired notes!. For this reason, it can sound many more notes at once than most other stringed instruments, making it more comparable to a keyboard instrument than to other stringed instruments!. This arrangement lends itself to playing multiple lines at once and many Stick players have mastered performing bass, chords and melody lines simultaneously!.
Typically, the Chapman Stick is held via a belt-hook and a shoulder strap!. The instrument settles into a position approximately 30 to 40 degrees from vertical, which allows both hands to naturally and comfortably address the fretboard!. (In comparison, a typically held guitar's fretboard is more or less horizontal!.)
