To play the Kayagum, one sits cross-legged on the floor with the right end of the instrument on the lap. Fingers and thumb of the right hand pluck the strings; the left hand presses on the strings (beyond the moveable bridges) to create the combination of pitch change and vibrato so distinctive to Korean music.

The Kayagum is featured on the Morning Calm album.

David Haddock has this to say about his use of the Stick in David's music...

"One of the interesting things about the Stick is that there is not alot of tradition behind it. The twenty five years or so that it has been around doesn't really constitute a tradition, so consequently, players of this instrument are not hindered by the constraints of tradition, but then neither do they have the same wealth of material and influences to draw from that players of more traditional instruments have. But to look on the positive side of things, the Stick really is limitless in its application to modern music, or in a more adventurous traditional setting.
