Hey All
So, I have a friend who makes ribbon mics for acoustic bass. His name is Brandon (an excellent bassist here in the bay area) His mic is called the Troll Ribbon mic. I have had one on trial before and really loved the sound for bass…
Here is a belated Halloween tune. I recently discovered the tune JuJu by Wayne Shorter. My arrangement is inspired the version by Philly pianist Tom Lawton.

I'm calling this the twin to the first dampening etude. It picks up where the other one left off, except this one is a 4 mallet etude. Although it's 4 mallets, you'll find that I kept many of the moving lines from the first one.

There comes November… and its new TOTM: Alone Together! We started with great lessons and etudes. So join us!
Today we learned the passing of Angelo J. Vaglio. He must have been 95 or 96 years old but he kept playing nearly till this…

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any information of the history of the development of the vibraphone, and also if possible the physics and synthesis behind the sound…

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…
Here's a dampening etude for Alone Together. It can done with two mallets. Basically, it's the melody with guide tones in between the melody notes. It can be a little tricky because there's some interval leaps. Just take it slow, and be…
Does anyone own or know someone who owns a first generation Yamaha YV3400 vibraphone? I'm looking for a picture of the original cross bar/pedal that folded in half. Thanks!

This is a clip from PASIC 07 that I saw a long while back but just ran across again. It is an interesting concept presented in an entertaining way.
