Our most popular Strumstick, the D-33 with Spruce Top.
This is our best selling Strumstick by far.
See other wood options for the D-33
The D is longer with a wider body than the G, is tuned lower, and has a fuller, richer tone. Spruce is the standard wood for soundboards for Guitar, Violin, Piano, and more, and makes a great sounding Strumstick. There is a high visual contrast between the white Spruce top and the red Padouk neck and sides, and you see white/red/white looking from the side.

"I bought a D strumstick a year ago and I’ve had so much fun with it. I love music and singing but had always been frustrated in playing any instrument until I got my stick. Now I can play “Old McDonald” as well as songs by Coldplay and just have the time of my life! Some people pay shrinks a lot of money for therapy but this does the trick for me. I can feel blue, overworked, tired, sad, even happy or any range of human emotions but my stick always sets me right. A few strums on the twangy thang and everything’s alright. Thank you for coming up with what I call my “joy stick.”

The Strumstick is designed for non-players, and is delightfully easy to learn.
The Strumstick was created by Bob McNally (designer of the Martin Backpacker Guitar) and has a perfect blend of ease and versatility. The D-33 Strumstick (tuned DAD) is our most popular model. Besides being a foolproof instrument for beginners it is also an inspiring and creative tool for professional musicians (on stage and in the studio). Plays in numerous keys (by capo use or retuning) but is ridiculously easy for non players. Full instructions, chords and songs included. Handmade in USA, of all solid woods. The Strumstick is also available in key of G.

When I perform I have a lot of Strumsticks to choose from; when I try out a bunch of Strumsticks ("who wants to go on stage tonight!") it is invariably a Koa D-33 with Pickup that is my favorite.
The other woods sound fine, but the Koa adds just a little more presence, we hear that from our customers too.
The built-in electric pickup provides access to another whole world of sounds depending on your equipment; from tone control, to effects of all kinds, loopers and computer recording. Great sound, with or without the pickup.
See our Video below demonstrating many sounds using the pickup with an amp and effects.
Visually the golden hue of the Koa blends nicely with the red of the Padouk, a moderate contrast, and pleasing to the eye.

Our lowest price Strumstick, the G-29 SlimPicker with Spruce Top and Plain Soundhole.
Free Instruction Book and CD Download are included.
(For Limited Time: See other wood choices for G-29).
This model has an undecorated soundhole. For a few dollars more you can add a decorative wood rosette inlay around the soundhole if you like.
(For Limited Time: see G-29 with Decorative Rosettes page).
The G has a high bright tone, it is tuned higher than the D, and has a bit smaller soundbox and a shorted length. A consistent reaction when people hear it for the first time is "how do you get so much sound out of such a little body". High visual contrast with the white Spruce and the red Padouk, and white/red/white effect when seen from the side.

Padouk is the least expensive of our fancy wood line, and includes an Abalone Soundhole Rosette. Because the Padouk D-33 is all the same wood, there is a perfect blend between top and neck. The uniform color gives a visual simplicity that highlights the refined shape of the Strumstick. The tone of the padouk top is bright and clear.
