Model D-33
The D Strumstick was designed to be in a different pitch range, with a different sonority than the G. The D plays the same way as the G, but is pitched lower. The D is more resonant and deeper sounding, and is often the first choice of guitar players. It is 33 inches long, 5 wide, and 1 deep. The woods are Padouk for the neck and body, Spruce for the soundboard, and Maple for the back.
The tuning is D A D, with the high D being the same note as the middle string of the basic Strumstick. The low D is the same note as a guitar 4th string. It can also be tuned down as low as G (an octave below the Standard Strumstick) or up as high as G' (same as the Standard Strumstick. Useable keys are G, G#, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, and G'. The frets are placed to give a diatonic scale, with an additional flatted seventh. Pitch range is 2 1/2 octaves. The primary key is D (also see The Instructions Area, Alternate Tunings) The Grand Strumstick comes with a Free instruction book and instruction CD. Case available (see Accessories). The Grand Strumstick comes with the inlay Rosette (at no additional cost.) There are currently 6 different designs.

Add a Built-in Pickup $90. This great sounding piezo-pickup was custom designed for the Strumstick by Schatten. 1/4" jack, plugs into any guitar amp (no pre-amp needed). Better tone than a stick-on pickup. Put a Strumstick into the shopping cart first, then come back and order your pickup. (Or you can order pickup and Strumstick together from the Built-in Pickup Page).
This is a Built-in Pickup. That means we specially modify a Strumstick to accomodate the pickup. You must get a Strumstick in the same order as the Built-in Pickup.
