Although the Chapman Stick company offers some instruments with various numbers of strings, we’ll here compare instruments with the full twelve strings. We’ll therefore compare a standard Chapman Grand Stick with the simplest Mobius Megatar Touchstyle Guitar, the TrueTapper Eclipse.

You may be pleasantly surprised by the TrueTapper Eclipse, when compared feature by feature with the Chapman Grand Stick.

(In another article here you can compare two identical MP3 recordings of Chapman Stick and Mobius Megatar instruments. Your eyes, your ears, your good sense, and your pocketbook will make it very clear.)

Hello.

My name’s Rubén Alonso, from Vigo (Spain)

I’m selling my second generation 10 strings blue polycarbonate Chapman Stick (serial number 1961).

I also include a new set of strings, a stereo cable, a strap, and a custom padded soft bag.

By the way, I’ve never found another 2nd generation blue polycarbonate chapman stick, so this would be an UNIQUE item.

Don’t hesitate make an offer to almaescura at hotmail.com. Everyone will be answered.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards.

Are you a member of Tappistry.Org?

Tappistry.Org is a world-wide volunteer association of enthusiasts of the ‘Two-Handed Tapping Method’ to play bass, guitar, and specialty tapping instruments (Chapman Stick, Mobius Megatar, Warr Guitar, Kobayu Board, etc.)

Touch-Style play, also called Two-Handed Tapping means playing a guitar-like instrument by touching the amplified strings to the frets. You can play music with both hands using this method, so it’s like playing bass and guitar at the same time (if you have both bass and guitar strings).

Tappistry.Org has a selection of Articles with how to play music information and interviews. There is also a Resources section with theory, a list of manufacturers and bands, and some music lessons.

The most popular feature is the Tappistry.Org Tapper’s Forum. To become a member, there is no cost. Simply register and join the fun!

If you’re interested in the two-handed touch-style technique, and you’d like to hang out with like-minded musicians around the planet, Tappistry.Org is the place to be!
