Question:
I'm a beginner vibes player, and am fortunate to play in a band that has a very wide variety of tunes in the repertoire. Don't ask me why... it just kind of worked out that way, and we're all amateurs in it for fun and doing…
Here's a short clip of Blue in Green that I recorded on an M55 from 1968 that I picked up last year. It still needs some tweaking here and there with the dampening system, but it's a lot better than what it was. It was in pretty bad shape…

I have an idea. how about an Etude/Technique/Gear Festival?
Let's work only on chops, and let's gather information on gear. Instruments etc.
Maybe some of you guys could do interviews of manufacturers (Drew??).
If there was an instrument…
very excited to say i have found a vibraphone that will be at my home soon. found a yamaha yv 2600 mint condition for the right price and was able to grab it up .. such a blessing.
