The body and neck are Padouk (a rich red hardwood from Africa), the soundboard is Spruce, and the back is Maple.
The tuning is G D G (one octave higher). The lower G is the same note as the guitar third string.
The frets are placed to give a diatonic scale, with an additional flatted seventh. Pitch range is 2 1/2 octaves.
The Strumstick has it's own unique sound, bright, clear, and snappy. See the Sounds Page for samples. People say it reminds them of a blend of banjo, dulcimer, and mandolin.
