writing some music for marimba & vibes (in a small ensemble) - have eyes on a M48 (for all the good travel-light 'n quick reasons the wonderful GB cited - and also like the more mellow sounding Musser gold bars for that) -- now looking for rosewood marimba (at least 3 octaves, hopefully more) to buy for gigging, to be paired with the M48 player - any suggestions? & unfortunately can't say "price is no object" - merci, James

Here's a cool chord outlining exercise.

Hey guys, this is part of a review I posted on youtube.com about my new Majestic Vibraphone. Ever since Autumn Leaves was the tune of the month, I've fooled around a little with it, and used it to demonstrate some of the "sounds" of the instrument. Any feedback/suggestions? I tried to take what I had been given the last time I posted and work on it, as well as use most registers of the instrument, as this was part of a review. Let me know what you think!

Here's some ideas for converting 4/4 standards into 3/4 standards.

Looking for something to practice? This is a great article on using basic triads to play both generally and specifically.

I have a couple of rails, cut and drilled for Musser size, so I am running a special offer on the audio pickup system (Musser model only) this March.
Normal price for the set is euro 900, I am offering these for 780 euros (ex vat, ex shipping).

Offer stands till I'm out of stock.
