The first time I saw this Duo was at a marimba Festival. I had my mouth open the entire concert. I was just totally blown away by them!! Since that day I hear and feel music in a totally different way. Joe and Christos are two amazing…

I have some old Good Vibes mallets that are warped out of line about 3/16". I have newer Mike Balter mallets that have a slight curve also so I am assuming this happens with all mallets. Do you try straightening them (steam them?), play…

Marie-Noëlle doesn't play the vibes but she loves them as much as I think the rest of us do! She's joined our ranks inside the school and I'm sure will have a lot to say. She's pretty active over at thevibe.net a popular vibe site. All…

I'd like to see more participation by members too. It's so fun to bring a society of vibraphonists together. I live in Texas and I don't travel much anymore so I don't see a lot of vibe players (though there are some very good ones here)…
