Content type: Blog entry
My friend Fisher at Ischell has finally finished his vibraphone mic system called Bar X. These are contact mics that go on each par like the piezos but mic the bars in a much more organic and acoustic way. (I have his bass mic and have…

Adam Kantz
Content type: Forum topic
Hey y'all, so I recently bought a 76' M55. The guy who owned it before me bought it from Musser and it never left his basement. It's in almost perfect condition and I'm hoping to keep it that way. I'll be packing up and moving the…

Musser on the Canterbury

Since Tony posted about 'twitting' to learn more about music, I thought I'd thrown in another technology bit. On Facebook, you can become a fan of Musser Mallets and they put up a bi-weekly fun fact about their instruments. This picture…

Content type: Images
Just picked up an m-75. I think it's the first year they made it because the motor is NOT variable speed. And a Deagan Marimba from the 40s in beautiful condition. The m-75 is a fantasy instrument of mine. I promised the owner that they…

Great interview with Mike Mainieri. I'm probably the only person who hasn't seen it already but I thought it was excellent. https://youtu.be/2053-hgjve0

"If I only had a Brain" by Harold Arlen, from "The Wizard of Oz" -V
David Friedman
Content type: Audio Player
This is our first try at recording this wonderful little song at a crazy, slow tempo. (The original version is up tempo!) I'm not sure if anyone under the age of 50 is familiar with this tune. The composer, Harold Arlen, wrote such…

Tony's Conception Chord Melody

Content type: Video Embed
Hi Tony, I had a go at this. I should probably practice it more, but I was inspired by Al to post something. I had to simplify a chord or two to play it at this tempo. I also missed at least one chord in the bridge, but I think I kept the…

I saw Tony's email on Friday with a link to the music for this, so I decided to take a look at it last night. And shot this video this morning. There's at least one wrong note, so I haven't earned the "free" skype lesson, yet...assuming…

Content type: Audio Player
Here's a chord melody followed by a challenging quarter note solo with chords. The first part is for everyone, the second part is for advanced students. It's a real work out on chords and voice leading. @Tristan - Can you play it?

An improvisation with me on 4-mallet balafon and Rakalam Bob Moses playing drums and percussion. This is the opening track of our duet CD called "Mobeus" where we surrender to the wild ride and "flow without measure."

CRY ME A RIVER . ( Hamilton )

It’s just about playing silence. How to play the silence. The challenge here is to say enough without saying too much. Needs a lot of practice. Phrasing is one of the key.

Cherokee Etude A.K.A. The Suicide Etude
tonymiceli
Content type: Story
Here's the Cherokee etude. It's sooo hard, I'm burnt out on it! I give up. I wanted to play a bass line over a head. You can't do it over a solo really, but over a head I thought it was possible. I think it's a technique that can be…
