Strumstick

In 2018, working in a theatre in Stoke, I was handed the Strumstick. It’s an instrument built with beginners in mind and has a distinct brittle sound when plucked because of it’s thin body. I decided to pluck each string and throw it into Kontakt.

Because of the tuning and the way the frets are spaced, there are effectively No Wrong Notes*. I designed the Strumstick to play in just one key instead of all 12 keys, so that learning is much much easier.” ||||
