Hi everyone,

This post is further to my shoutout earlier on...

I've just ordered a pair of SE1as on trial from SE-Electronics.
You can see them here: http://www.seelectronics.com/se1a-pair-mic
They're pencil condensors - perhaps not the perfect mic, but a massive step up from the dynamics I've been using up until now.

I think they come with a stereo bar, so that you can put both mics on one stand, and separate them slightly.

Does anyone set their mics up like this when playing live? Does it work as well as placing them apart?

I thought was really beautiful music!

Man I have a funny feeling that there's a lot more stuff happening on the vibes these days. Or maybe it's just more people posting on youtube, but I'm seeing some cool stuff online!

Hey guys, this is part of a review I posted on youtube.com about my new Majestic Vibraphone. Ever since Autumn Leaves was the tune of the month, I've fooled around a little with it, and used it to demonstrate some of the "sounds" of the instrument. Any feedback/suggestions? I tried to take what I had been given the last time I posted and work on it, as well as use most registers of the instrument, as this was part of a review. Let me know what you think!

Might be interesting for you:

I have a couple of rails, cut and drilled for Musser size, so I am running a special offer on the audio pickup system (Musser model only) this March.
Normal price for the set is euro 900, I am offering these for 780 euros (ex vat, ex shipping).

Offer stands till I'm out of stock.

Hey Vibesworkshop, thought i'd post this link of a good friend, Peter Schlamb playing a live set from Smalls with The Ben Van Gelder Group. Peter is a great vibes player!

http://www.smallsjazzclub.com/indexnew.cfm?eventId=4584&pb=1

the group features:

Ben Van Gelder - Alto Sax
Peter Schlamb - Vibraphone
Aaron Parks - Piano
Ross Gallagher - Bass
Craig Weinrib - Drums

Here's a clip from circa late 90s of a gig at a local jazz club featuring the late clarinetist Dick Johnson. Marshall Wood is on bass and Les Harris Jr. is on drums.

Marshall and Les can really lay down a beautiful and solid groove. I had the opportunity to play with Dick on many occasions (many times along with trumpeter Herb Pomeroy) and it was always special. I learned so much from Dick and Herb and feel very fortunate that I got to play with both of them. They are both sadly missed.

I got this one from James Walker. Oh man...
