OT: Buying a Chapman stick

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

Hey,

One of my best friends/band members is going to take the plunge into the 
world
of the Chapman Stick.  Any advise?  Would there be problems with a used
instrument?  Are they impossible to set up?  She's also a woman, and has
smaller hands than most men, but she has no problems getting around on a
classical guitar.  Could this be an issue?  She also is looking for 
someone to
give her lessons in the SF bay area.  Her email is: schenk@psy.ucsf.edu
