... that was beautiful, but I'm ashamed to admit that I've never seen a Chapman Stick before. I may heard one with realizing what it was, but what an amazing instrument!
Tuning one must be a challenge!

here, one of them recorded by Cascade. (Mark White and his girlfriend Steffi). His website is https://www.markwhitelive.com/ . That's where I read there are only 8,000 Chapman Sticks. Check out his website. He's an environmentalist, too.

Here's another, and if you look at the YouTube comments, you'll see this comment

Incredible! Are you self taught? I would love to learn this instrument. Thank you for bringing it to the forefront. I am looking for a teacher in NH. ❤

I learned from my guitar teacher when I was a teenager and now I am teaching my girlfriend
Finding a teacher is tricky because they’re so few players out there.
It’s possible to teach yourself as well though
