Hello guys, here's a short solo vibraphone clip that was just uploaded to my YouTube Solo Vibes channel. This very brief solo clip shows me working on playing lines along with some left hand comping on Coltrane's Giant Steps. There's also a new clip of Van Heusen's Like Someone In Love. I'll be uploading more solo vibe clips soon. To be notified when new clips are added, you can subscribe to my Solo Vibes channel. Best, Ed

So, about 6 months ago, I owned two sets of vibes. One a Musser M55 from 1977 and the other an M48 from around 1987. I bought the M48 when I lost my car in a spat of poverty and had to find a way to get to gigs in smaller vehicles because my big car died and I couldn't afford a new one. Never really liked it that much because of how its damper got out of adjustment every time I moved it, but I appreciated how it got me through that time in my life.

Hi All,
Running a little late this month, been very busy, in a good way.
Here's the info on April's show:

Vibist new to Good Vibes this month is Harold Masteller, owner of The Jazz Corner on Hilton Head Island. Masteller plays the flugelbone and, inherited from his dad Harold (who played jazz violin in the '30s) the vibes as well. On Tuesday nights Bob plays with the band; the club itself is open SEVEN nights a week -- with jazz. The restaurant is fabulous, everything the kitchen sends out is delicious.

Hey guys,
I'll be in Japan (Tokyo) from April 2nd to the 8th and I'm looking for a vibraphone.
Any information will be appreciated.
Feel free to contact me at:

Thank you

Hi VW-User,

I've been neglecting the pan lately so I thought I would run through some tunes. It is pretty much in need of a tuning- do you notice it? I don't want to play it out anywhere until I get it tuned and I'm really broke. Tuning these is expensive.

My homework is always late!
I tried to play the melody with mallet dampening as an exercise.

I'm trying too hard to use this sound that I was having some fun with. I think it sounds better in person than on the video-but I like it. I will def use it less in a real performance-but I think it sounds kinda cool.
