Vibraphone

(We've been talking about Theo Milkov on the site. Here is his teacher performing. - tony miceli)

Bars, resonators and their tuning.

Base of the vibes' sound ofcourse are the bars, and in a huge amount the (tuning of) the resonators.
I'll try to explain in the next article how to tune the bars, how to tune the resonators, and how to get the best benefit from the resonators.

Bars.

It is widely know that vibe bars have their fundamental tuned, and the first overtone to a double octave.

Pretty cool original composition by the vibist from Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble.

This tune (Birk's Works by Dizzy Gillespie) was posted on YouTube in June but originally video taped last year 2007.

Check out Patty playing the Friedman etude No. 13. What's great is since her right hand is injured, she's using just her left. During her injury that lasted 6 weeks she practiced like a maniac with just her left hand. I BET HER LEFT HAND is pretty happening now! huh?
