Yo. So I know that this TOTM is over. BUT check this out. Amazing how he fills in the Harmony with counterpoint/ Bass lines. And it swings. Hard. I could definitely hear this on vibraphone... What do you think?

Content type: Forum topic
So I saw a picture recently on eBay (it might still be on there) of someone who was able to collapse an M75 and put it in cases. Is this the case with all M75's or just the newer ones? Has anyone ever collapsed an M75 and put it in cases?
