Just got these. I'm amazed so far at how they cut the sound without cutting frequencies. All vibe players should have ear plugs. This is a pretty piercing instrument. I got mine from here:http://www.facebook.com/pages/MusicMolds/…

Here's the proof. Gary opened up for Cream. I remember someone telling me (way back in the day) that he really wasn't a hippie but grew his hair long so he'd get gigs!! If it's not true it's pretty funny and if it is true it's pretty…

Piper

I've been "not playing" now for three years. I think that's longer than some of you have been playing. I still digest music daily internally and I often get the attention of my brother firefighter/paramedics at work who notice the non-stop…
