Anyone have any suggestions for a mallet that I can use to bend notes that isn't a plastic xylophone mallet? I'd love to be able to incorporate some of that stuff into my solo playing without having to hold a xylophone mallet the entire time.

Last week end, Philippe Macé organised a vibes workshop/concerts in Paris, with him as teacher but also with David Friedman and Emmanuel Séjourné. Philippe is a member here and even participated in one of our European Winter workshops in Sassenheim. He's directing the conservatory of the 11th district of Paris.
Unfortunately I couldn't attend the lessons during the week end and I even missed meeting David :-(, but I came and say hi on Friday after my work, during the first lesson with Philippe. Of course this was a new opportunity to talk about the site to some young students! ;-)
Here we are again.
Still working on it.
I call it the 66 take, because the metronome is at 66. I should be a little faster(I'm going for 72).
In this take, I'm even running at the end. I was aware of it while playing, but I was so 'into' it I couldn't slow myself down.
This is not at all a great version, but I think I'm improving. (can you say that about yourself ?)
Hi all,
I am selling my vibe in Berlin and heading back to Melbourne.
It is in fantastic condition. I have the same model instrument in Melbourne and really love it. Especially the height adjust-ability and the warm tone.(please see attached PDF for more information and photos).
I am also including a pair of flight cases if needed and could look at sending the instrument via freight depending on the destination and the cost.
If you are interested please contact me at robertsinclairmcdonald@gmail.com or spread the word if you happen to know someone looking for an instrument.
Our next TOTM
Wow, that was my favorite TOTM. Thanks Behn for suggesting it! It feels so good to know that a bunch of you guys are really working on this stuff. It helps me a lot. It's weird taking money from people. I really worry that people are getting something out of this site. With the Satin Doll TOTM it made me feel really good! That's the most involvement yet.
The thing I've learned about this site is, that this site is like a couple cockroaches in your apartment. You might see 2 of them, but you can be sure that there's another 50 behind the wall. You dig?
