Standard Strumstick(Model G-29) with Carrying Case The Strumstick has it's own unique sound. People say it reminds them of a blend of banjo, dulcimer, and mandolin. (Listen to the sound on Cris's "Mercy" on her new CD Real Deal.)

- the body and neck are Padouk (a rich red hardwood from Africa)
- the soundboard is Spruce, and the back is Maple.
- the primary key is G (there are alternative tunings).
- the tuning is G D G (one octave higher). The lower G is the same note as the guitar third string.
