Here are the informations to step 2 of our DIY bar production.
Please go to

and follow Step 2.

In this post I am focussing on the bar macro geometry, because it has a big influence on sound and frame.

What do you think about the idea to create an about 10% lighter bar set using the same width graduation as M55 or Omega instead of keeping the bar width constant on a minimum of 1.5" for youth vibraphones?

Working up a solo version of Horace Silver's Peace. We all need some peace right about now...

Comments welcome - work in progress.

Comment if you want me to write out the chord melody and upload it!

Here's a video of me playing the 14th etude for vibraphone pedaling from David Friedman's technique book. Not the cleanest run but the cleanest video take... Comments and feedback welcome.

As promised, I am trying to provide information on how we created our first DIY bar set.
Since I don't really understand how blogging works here, I put all the content on my private website (I can handle it more easily) and link to it.

Please discuss and comment here!

Goto: Vibraphone Bar Set
-> 1. Step

You can listen here to both parts.

Down load the other file which is just one part and then add your part.

Any questions let me know.

Let's play and post on here. Do mini concerts, do whatever. Let's be active and work on stuff and post our growth here! Make videos and post them.

I'm also thinking about doing some group Skype or Zoom calls. Anyone interested in hanging and talking about vibes? Asking questions, playing, whatever.
