Which version did you show, LN1R or LN2R?
Where can I get those in Europe and at what price?

I think, the combination of your late nite mallets and my vibe beach towels would be the ultmate summer travel toy for all vibe players. :)

I would like to know, how your mallets sound on my towles layed on a table as substitute vibraphone.

I've just ordered a set. Looking forward to playing between diaper changes!

How about tying a little piece of knit fabric over the mallet head (like David in Berkeley showed us last weekend at your workshop? ) But not so it looks like a tiny T-shirt :)

Here's a nice plug for the new mallets: you can practice while your newborn baby sleeps!

Maybe a little hard on the back...

Not easy on the back, nope! :) Cool though! That's some important multitasking...

Another update on the mallets:

I have been playing with these almost exclusively for practicing the last couple of months. I really like the percussive sound they make. It makes "swinging" a lot of fun. I don't like them so much for four mallet playing. I find it really hard to get the articulation necessary for four voices. I also find pedaling a little tricky. Hitting the instrument like a drum with two mallets, no pedal, feels right. They are great fun and very friendly to other members of a household. I wonder whether there is any downside to playing with them a lot (over conventional mallets). They certainly feel different in the hands and response. I can't believe how loud the instrument sounds when I switch back, especially with my headphones/ear plugs out!

What instruments does this pertain to?
