I finally managed to put together the building instructions for M55 frame (accordion folding).

Here's a short clip of me performing the Pedaling Etude #21 from David Friedman's book, a bit under tempo.

Here's some more stuff I've been working on with Tony.

Tony has me working out of the bops duet book by Bugs Bower. This is etude #12. The rules here have been that I can't look at the bars and to practice sight reading (which I'm still slow at but making progress from this exercise). Here is my entry after going over this one every day for a few weeks. I will say not looking at the bars is just a good exercise in general for spacial awareness on the instrument.

I have about 150 Musser Bar Mounts to share for free. If you need to replace a few on your instrument, let me know and I'll send you what you need. You just pay for shipping (and if you can, make a small donation to the Good Vibes project for Jen)

For Free Bar Mounts, please contact me through my website

We have a brand of coffee named for the instrument and now we have a toy!

Wouldn’t it be nice to get rid of those archaic springs used to hold tension on the vibe and marimba bar string? PIPERvibe now offers a new device that is simple to install (less than 5 seconds) and requires no tools. Once installed, all you have to do is pull the string to it and it will hold your bar string’s tension without springs. Over time, the string stretches but all you have to do is simply pull tension again and it holds it with fresh new tension....

I make the gel pads in groups of five or more. I currently have three orders waiting so now is a good time to place your order if you're planning to get one. Thank you to everyone (especially Tony for the site) for the support on these projects.

FYI: The Mbraces/pedal upgrade has already gone up $100 and the Gel Pads will go up $25.00 after this batch to help cover shipping costs so order up now to get the current pricing.
