A sunset performance in the Arizona Sonoran Desert featuring solo Chapman Stick® music by Michael Kollwitz.

This continuous set blends original compositions with classic songs arranged for a solo tapping instrument, recorded live outdoors at golden hour.

The Chapman Stick is played with both hands on the fretboard, allowing for bass, melody, and chords to be played simultaneously — almost like a piano on strings.

Filmed & edited by Kyra Rahn & Ryan Estabrooks / Keyreel Productions.
