I am new here, and am looking for Musser vibes. I looked at the instruments for sale on this site, and see that almost all posts are over a year old! What gives? Is this site dieing?

Just some simple lines and rhythms. I think you should memorize it and play it with a metronome. If you use it for sight reading, that's ok, but I think of this more for improvising. Nothing fancy, but you can hear the tune. PS - you have…

Isn't Adrian the real first vibe player? Check this out. I wonder how old it is? And he's playing with 4 mallets and seems to be pretty good at it. This is a great video!

My daughter has become quite an impressive mallet artists and I'm considering purchasing a set of vibes. She's past the beginner stage, so graduated bars are a must. When I first entered the high school band room, I was shocked to see a…
