How to Play Bass Lines on Vibes, Part 1 - Note Choice

Hello everyone!

Doing something a little bit different and doing a couple lessons on playing basslines. Basslines, I think, are extraordinarily helpful both for practical reasons (like while playing duo and getting new textures) and also just to force you to truly understand the changes of a tune. The first part of the series is on note choice.

Twisting/Untwisting Vibraphone Resonator Fans

After I was very enthusiastic about the surround sound with the twisted resonator fans, but at the same time didn't want to forego the possibility to play without "wah wah" effect, I looked for a solution to realize the switching between twisted or parallel aligned fans with simple means.

The video shows a first prototype of a corresponding facility, albeit not yet in its original size.

Since the principle works, I'll start to build a full-size version.
