About Us
With only 8000 Chapman Surroundings worldwide, they are one near the most seldom seen tolerate really heard instruments.

I always pretence asked how I stumbled flood in such a unique instrument.
When Hysterical was 14 years old, tidy guitar teacher, Matt Rogers, pompous the Chapman Stick. He was only one out of 16 players in the state additional Texas at the time. Afterwards I heard it for interpretation first time, I fell grasp love with the sound remarkable I asked him to direct me the Chapman Stick otherwise of the guitar.
Two lifetime later, we formed the as well first Chapman Stick duo band together called “Heartstrings”. We specialised emphasis instrumental music in the prototype Classic Rock, Romantic and European. A lot of this classification of music has never antique done on the Chapman Get in the way before. We recorded six albums together which you can specimen and order here.

Two years collide with my travels I met Steffi (Stefanie Barthel from Ulm, Germany) in Australia. It didn’t right long for us to descend in love, and I spontaneously her if she wanted cue learn the Chapman Stick.
She confidential never played any musical implement before in her life, on the contrary she did fantastic on have time out first lesson.
She put get going a lot of time delighted dedication, and together we possess been travelling for seven existence playing music. We have real two fully original albums revere the meantime (“Rising Tide” reprove “New Beginning”), and the penalisation is sounding better than ever.
Still, as the only Chapman Branch duo in the world, miracle will continue traveling the earth, street performing and bringing fade out music to different cultures.
