TerraScenic    Strumstick Stick Dulcimer Pickin Stick

The Strumstick uses a diatonic scale fretting (the notes of a major scale). So "No Wrong Notes", Everything you Play sounds GREAT. The strings are tuned in a drone relationship (octaves and fifth). The combination of diatonic scale and drone tuning make the strumstick immediately fun, and very easy to play, even for beginners. The Strumstick is ideal for anybody who wants to learn to play music, even if they think they can't. Beginners make great sounds right from the beginning, because the Strumstick is so easy to play. You can just strum all the strings while fretting one of them and music happens all by itself. With No Wrong Notes, whatever you play sounds good, whether you are just messing around or playing songs, or even chords and complex melodies. The Strumstick comes with complete instructions and an instruction CD. With only three strings it is simple to tune (there are tuning notes on the CD to make tuning easy). The instruction book has songs, chords, and how to strum many different rhythms too. The Strumstick is an ideal instrument for recreational music players, whether people who are beginning music for the first time, or returning to music after a long lapse. The Strumstick is a remarkable tool for learning music, for people of all ages.. It is designed to sound great, look great, and be really easy to play, right from the start. If beginners have fun, they keep playing. The Strumstick is also a great beginning guitar trainer. The early months of beginning guitar are spent learning to move your fingers in a coordinated way which can be frustrating, and many people quit guitar at this stage. With the Strumstick, you are learning finger control while having a lot of fun, and no frustration. A few months of Strumstick playing makes learning guitar much easier, and "skips over" much of the frustrating early stages. After playing Strumstick for a while, the beginner at guitar knows how to strum, to move their fingers around a fretboard, and has a lot of confidence that they can make some music, and can progress on an instrument. Experienced musicians find the Strumstick a versatile and inspiring musical instrument. Despite being easy, and less complex than other instruments the Strumstick is capable of sophisticated rhythms, funky chords, and melodies and riffs just tumble out of it. As a composing tool, a musical sketch pad, it can't be beaten. It is like a backdoor into creativity. One minute you are just having a little fun, strumming some little melody on your strumstick, and the next minute, you are working on a song...that catchy melody you are playing was a spark, and now you are thinking about verses, turnarounds, and getting ready to show it to your band to record. The Strumstick is like a treasure trove of musical ideas, readily accessible because of how simple it is to play. It brings you back to the simple, organic heart of music, where a few notes stir emotions and feelings, and joy and sadness and spirit all mingle together. That is what music is about, and that is what the Strumstick is about. The Strumstick is available in Standard, Rosette Standard and the long scale 'Grand' version.
