Could use some advice on a setup question. The highest F on the instrument rings even when the damper…
Working up this piece really forced me to re-examine my technique, and improved it a lot. I started playing out of David's "Vibraphone Technique: dampening and pedaling" when it was first published. Still a phenomenal resource!
