stiimulele

Stimulele is a musical instrument that is a hybrid of the stimulator and the ukulele. It was invented by musician and inventor John McCauley in 2010. The stimulele is a four-stringed instrument, similar to the ukulele, but with a unique design that incorporates elements from the stimulator, a percussion instrument that produces sound through the vibration of a metal plate. The stimulele's body is made of a metal plate, which is struck with a mallet to produce sound, while the strings are plucked or strummed to produce additional tones. The instrument is tuned to the same notes as a standard ukulele, but with a lower pitch. Stimulele music is characterized by its unique blend of percussive and stringed sounds, creating a distinctive and experimental musical style. The stimulele has been used in various musical genres, including experimental music, world music, and indie rock. It has also been featured in performances and recordings by artists such as John McCauley and the band The Stims. The stimulele's unique design and sound have made it a popular instrument among musicians who are interested in exploring new musical territories.
