For several years, I have been interested in bringing the strumstick to you. As music has increasingly become a part of Abode Gallery, I thought that now was a good time to introduce it. Check out this video on strumstick.
I found strumstick at the Philadelphia American Craft Show. Handmade from padouk, spruce, and maple, strumstick is beautiful in appearance and sound. I was drawn in by its elegance. It is a work of art as well as an instrument.
Having never played before, I discovered the claim that strumstick is an instrument for the musically disinclined to be true. After receiving the demo models in both the standard G and D grand, I have already learned between three and five songs. Click here to hear an intermediate person playing strumstick.
These are touch and play instruments. I invite you to stop by, try the demos, and find out more about strumstick. You’ll be glad you did.
