Referring to the technical side of the instrument.

Check this out Musser owners!!!

Just had a great talk with the owner of Falls Music Company. Behn Gillece gave me there info. I have to fix 2 discs on an m55. They said to use C-clamps and gorilla glue! Clean the areas (rod and disc) put a thin layer of glue on it. Put the disc on and then clamp it with the c clamp!!!! That's it. He does it all the time he said! 

Now Musser owners. I think we all have problems attaching the pedal rod to that piece up top. It doesn't stay and other thing up top their becomes immoveable and I have to get a hammer and wack it loose! 

It looks like he has solved the problem! 

NEW from PIPERvibe - Springless Bar String for Vibraphone and Marimba

Wouldn’t it be nice to get rid of those archaic springs used to hold tension on the vibe and marimba bar string? PIPERvibe now offers a new device that is simple to install (less than 5 seconds) and requires no tools. Once installed, all you have to do is pull the string to it and it will hold your bar string’s tension without springs. Over time, the string stretches but all you have to do is simply pull tension again and it holds it with fresh new tension....

Biggest Complaint about your vibraphone

What is your biggest complaint about your instrument frame? What repairs have you been putting off because parts are too hard to find or too expensive to purchase? I've heard many complaints over the years and I want to offer solutions to all these problems. I'm not interested in cosmetic issues like chipping paint or color of the bars. I'm more interested in the sound of the instrument and performance of the frame. These are things I can help with. I want PIPERvibe.com to be the place everyone goes for upgrades, improvements, parts and repairs at a REASONABLE price.
