Here are some pics of my new vibraphone frame. It packs down two ways: 1. fold the legs under the frame just like the M55 pro vibe for across town or simple vehicle transport. 2. take it completely apart and place all long rails in ski cases and leg frames and resonators in suit cases for air travel. It sounds and plays fantastic with all the rubber parts further isolating the bars from the frame and along with the shock-absorbing bar mounts I invented 20 years ago. This is just a prototype that eventually I'll use to produce the ultimate light-weight vibraphone with superior sound.

Check out Gloria Krolak's All Vibes Radio Show. I learn something every time I listen to it!

My student Pablo from Univ of South Mississippi and I came up with a cool version of an Open Closed Exercise.

It's a way to work on Open and Closed voicings and to work on 2 5 1's at the same time.

Las Brisas - Original Composition Vibraphone Solo
By David Kovins

This is a brief solo version of Body and Soul which closed my two days of masterclasses in Urbino, Italy held at the Teatro Sanzio on October 10th and 11th, 2016. The masterclasses covered the vibraphone as well as jazz harmony and improvisation. Much thanks to all of the students and professionals who attended the masterclasses and night concert. It was a wonderful turnout with participants coming from all over Italy (including Calabria, Veneto, Abruzzo and Puglia) as well as Sardinia.

This etude is in the chorus' and two parts.
Part one is chordal
Part two is more lines
Part three is chordal again.

Who can play it?
