Greetings everyone,
I'm thinking of having some vibe bars tuned down to A=440. Both Gilberto from Century Mallet in Chicago and Bill from Fall Creek Marimbas in NY seem to have excellent reputations.

Clearly a lot of folks have sent their bars to Gilberto over the years. I'm aware of his professional history. Any folks on the vibesworkshop forum send their vibe bars to Bill? Your experiences?

Thanks!

Thanks to Glen Dalrymple! He rebuilt my M48 which was in very bad shape! It's really beautiful now and plays great. I wore it out before!

Any vibe players around Tuesday night August 14th? We're trying to start an all night vibe night at Chris' Jazz Cafe here in Philly. 7-10 will feature myself, Behn Gillece and Randy Sutin. 10-2 opens the Jam Session.

Hope some of you can come out!

...or something like that, is what Tony said as he decided which of us would get the three Mike Balter t-shirts at the 2012 UDel Vibes Workshop. I guess he was right because when I wore my shirt for the first time today, the cashier at the grocery store asked "So who is Mike Balter?". Aha, a golden opportunity to enlighten another poor soul missing out on the wonderful world of vibraphone!
