Hello everyone,
I recently took part in a competition about jazz performing on master jam fest and I think I am the only one vibraphone player there. I would like to ask you to vote me. It will just take 5 seconds and the deadline for this is 15th of february. So, if you think I should win, vote for me!
I think it will also be good for the vibe community because from what I have seen I am the only one vibe player!!! the link to vote is below!

Thank you
dimitris

Hey all,

What are the tunes you see the most on jam sessions? If I had to name a few...

Solar
Donna Lee
Recorda Me
The Days of Wine and Roses
Billie's Bounce
All The Things You Are
Rhythm Changes (usually Oleo)
What Is This Thing Called Love

I play a very decent set of Deagan vibes at my practice location but my home set is a cheapy Kosth and not very nice sounding at all. I've been thinking of buying a good used set, and had kind of set on $2500 as a budget, not including going and picking them up wherever that would be... I was also pretty intent on a Musser or Yamaha with graduated bars.

I found this set online and I'm not really familiar with this brand. I don't want another cheap sounding piece of crap. Any advice...???
It has graduated bars but it looks no less flimsy than my current set.

Here's #4!

Hi there,

"free housing" means you will have a sleepover by friends of mine or students from the university.
It doesn´t mean, you will have your own private suite, shower, roomservice and others :D
...are you familiar with couch-surfin´???

For all who are still interested please let know, I´m tryin´ to get you in:)
So far it´s:
Andru, Dimitri, Israel, Hauke, Stefan, right?
@ Marie: which dates shall book the hotel for?

All the best and looking forward to see all of you,

Matthias

Has anyone else seen this on ebay recently?

though it says it's a jenco, I can't find any nameplate, and it looks SCARINGLY like the leedy vibraphone on exhibition at the PAS museum (the first vibraphone ever made):
