Hey all,

Soon me and the family are going on our 2 week holiday. And this year I just don't want to take a break in playing. Only thing is, I can't take the vibes.

Now I noticed there are these cheap 1-1.5 octave glockenspiels you can get.

-Is it a good idea to take this with me, and work a bit with it on holiday ?
- do some of you now fun stuff, (tunes, excercises,....) that I can do then.
- Or maybe sheet music which I need to rewrite for vibes ? (for my level of playing off course, but a lot of you know what I'm capable or not, so I can ask here.)
other stuff....

thanks,

this tune is written by our singer taken from a gig we did some time ago...

Hi
I'm new to the vibraphone, I've listened to them all my life ( i'm 60) but only play piano & chromatic harmonic and that's questionable! A Malletech Omega is on the way, I have mallets and the Stevens MOM book, even found someone a couple hours away that showed me the grip? I'm banging on a table but am starting to be able to control them a bit, 4 mallets. I've found different lesson plans...where should I start with the resources available here?
thanks

Very simple to learn, try to do it fast. Definitely an exercise to have in the back of your mind.
