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.

Playing Stella in 4 keys for Tony

Hey everyone, just a fun little transposition thing on Stella to practice playing in weird keys. Basically going down a minor third each chorus, but I explained more on Tony's recent post. Practicing in minor 3rds is, IMO, a much better way to practice than going in 4ths or chromatically. It makes you uncomfortable and gets you out of habits.
