Hi Everyone,
I'm visiting a friend of mine in Boston over the holidays who happens to live in the Berklee College of Music area. Consequently, I'll be away from my instrument for a few weeks and I was thinking it would be cool to meet up…
I can't believe how much I'm learning about the vibraphone. I spent the day with Leigh Stevens at the Malletech factory and once again learned so much about the instrument!
Leigh had me play the Omega for a bit. It sounded great. Then he…
Here's a great lesson on learning a tune via sheet music. The music is attached.
Do you learn melodies like this? Notice how much fun he has playing the melody!
Help! I'm trying to figure out how to get good sound on video. Please skip the mic placement advice, I know about that. This is worse than that. I need help with equipment and programs. I have Macbook, Garage Band, good mics, 2-channel…
Check this out for the 2014 world vibes congress!

Does anyone know what amp Mike Mainieri used for his Pasic concert in indianapolis (or what amp he normally uses) ? I feel like such a moron, because I could have waked up there and checked but it slipped my mind. I guess I was so blown…
Just got my first anti-cat device for the Ωmega, a nice Beiner cover to reduce the infestation of cat fur, also a small roll up bag on the end, real nice material and workmanship. Thank you Grant Beiner!

Hi
I have an M55 that I would like to rebuild just the wooden harp on...I broke an inner rail sometime ago and although it is repaired, the pull from the spring makes the instrument uneven and spongy. I have a beautiful piece of wood that…
So, a bunch of vibes players from Berklee (led by Gustavo Agatiello) went to New York on Tuesday to hear Joe Locke/Geoffrey Keezer Quartet in Jazz Standard and after the first set all of a sudden this guy calls my name ...
It was an…
I have been listening to the amazing tune Loro by Egberto Gismonti for several years, but never attempted to learn it. I bought "The Latin Real Book" http://www.amazon.com/Latin-Real-Book-C/dp/1883217059/, which had it in there, so…
I downloaded this tune from Christos' lesson. I had never heard it before. I was sitting at the piano reading it down and was captivated by it. Such a beautiful song. I'm playing it here just trying to be true to the melody and adding some…
Much thanks to Roger Clerc for sending me this video at Pasic 2013 Mallettech booth. Tony and I didnt get a chance to get a photo in together, thankfully Roger took a short video of the Omega Vibraphone and Tony Demostrating some of the…
