Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ Played On Chapman Stick By Mark White And Stefanie Barthel

Chapman Sticks are one of the most seldom seen and rarely heard instruments in the world. It’s reported that there are only around eight thousand ones worldwide, and not many people can play this instrument. Therefore, when we came across a video of a team playing this wonderful instrument, we couldn’t help but share it with music lovers online. Check out one of their awesome music videos below:

Mark White and Stefanie Barthel are the only Stick-Duo in the world. The duo met in November 2016 in Australia and fell in love with each other. Together, the duo has been traveling and playing music for seven years. With the elegant sound of the Chapman Stick, the great team often plays some great Classic Rock, Celtic, and romantic style music.

Mark asked Stefanie if she wanted to learn the Chapman Stick, and she said yes. Stefanie had never played any musical instrument before in her life, but she had an obvious natural talent for playing the ‘Chapman Stick’. Thanks to her talent and dedication, she has become an accomplished artist in her own right.

After two years, the duo has recorded two fully original albums. They are called ‘New Beginning’ and ‘Rising Tide’. As the only Chapman Stick duo in the world, the team promises to travel the globe, street performing and bringing their music to different cultures.
