I guess I'm not really answering your question but rather asking you another one. Could you please (as a Stick player) offer a summary of what the Stick is all about. (Somewhere in the mists of my closet I have literature on it, but it didn't go into enough detail.) I'm curious, because as a keyboard player who barely plays any guitar at all, I had thought about picking up the Stick (pun intended). I'd heard it was kind of a good stringed instrument for a keyboard player to pick up. Thanks in advance. -- Anything's possible, but only a few things actually happen. Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr
