So they said they had a set of vibes for me.........

Yep they said they had a set of vibes for me at Bucknell University. One of the more expensive Ivy League schools in the country.

I went up to play them, and the f*R%*R% gel damper had NO gel in it. So they went and got me felt pads and sad I shouldn't complain because Stefon Harris played on these. I said, well I bet Stefon was at least as pissed off as I am right now.

And then I said, IF A VIBE PLAYER ASKS YOU IF YOU HAVE A SET OF VIBES YOU SHOULD SAY NO, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A SET OF VIBES.

ASSHOLES.

I looked at Bucknell when applying to undergrad programs. I visited the campus, then turned around and never looked back. Good to see I made the right decision! :P

Tony... Bucknell isn't in the Ivy League. And I would bet that most Ivy League schools do not even own a vibraphone. MAYBE if they have a school of music. Otherwise it's BYOV!

Ooh, by the way good discussion: what's the worst instrument you ever had to play on?? I once performed in front of 250 people on an old Jenco, propped-up with a wooden board cause the pedal was all messed-up! Thrilling.

What instruments does this pertain to?
