Notable Chapman Stick Player — Sean Malone
Filed Under Chapman Stick, Chapman Stick Music, Sound Recordings | Leave a Comment
Image via Wikipedia Sean Malone first came to national attention as the bassist for the band Cynic, and on bass and Chapman Stick published a CD known as ‘Gordian Knot’. Somewhere in the realm of rock, metal, and prog. And later his ‘Emergent’ CD received rave reviews as well.
Part of the success is due to the stellar lineup. On Emergent, he enlisted top-rank musicians Bill Bruford and Dean Reinert for percussion, and Jim Matheos, Paul Masvidal, Steve Hackett, and Jason Gobel on guitar. Malone held down bass and Chapman Stick duty.
Outstanding. And, it is mild. Oops- that’s ‘wild.’ And, it is wild.

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.)

Compare Chapman Stick MP3 Recording with Mobius Megatar

Some months back on Tappistry forum, A Mr. Ashworth asked other members about our least-expensive two-handed tapping instrument, the Eclipse.
He asked, “I’m just wondering if anyone here has played one of these instruments, because I’m wondering what it sounds like.â€
A forum member named R.J. Goos from Fargo, North Dakota, replied –
“I had possession of an Eclipse not long ago, and I made recordings to compare it with a Stick instrument that I had. Playing the same song on both of these tapping instruments, using the same settings on all the recording gear. Though it’s played rather quickly, and I made errors, I think you’ll get an idea of each instrument’s sound.â€
Thank you very much, Jay Goos!
