Strumstick by Bob McNally is an American musical instrument brand known for designing simple, accessible, and highly playable string instruments that blend elements of the dulcimer, guitar, and mandolin. Founded by luthier Bob McNally, the brand focuses on creating diatonic instruments that allow players of all skill levels to make pleasant, harmonically rich music almost immediately. Strumsticks are typically tuned to open or modal scales, meaning there are no “wrong notes” within the key, which makes them especially popular for beginners, educators, and therapeutic music settings. The instruments are lightweight, portable, and handcrafted with an emphasis on ease of use rather than technical complexity. Over time, Strumstick has built a strong reputation for making music-making approachable while still offering a unique and distinctive tonal character.
