Chapman Stick inspired Planck Guitar (DIY)

[KoreanGuitarMan]

Check this out.

It's called the Planck. It's inspired by the Chapman Stick, which if you're not familiar is a two handed tapping instrument. This one you play with it sitting on your lap, and it's completely DIY.



Here's an article from Popular Mechanics about it:

good for him
doesnt interest or entertain me, though
i was pleasantly surprised that the tone wasnt 'plinky' as i feared - it had a nice warmth to it

Reminds me a little of the Koto.

Also reminds me that wooden touch guitars with passive pickup systems sound "warmer" than my graphite-reinforced plastic Chapman Stick/Grid with twin EMG-FTs. oed:
