This is my first post to this vibesworkshop.com so I will take this opportunity to welcome myself.
Welcome, Jon.
Thank you all.
I'm based in Brooklyn, NY and have amassed a collection of vibraphones that I like to rent out as long-term affordable rentals.
I currently have a few instruments that I'd be willing to sell or rent, or rent-to-own if anyone here might be interested.
They are:
1) 70's M55 with fantastic bars and a frame/resonators thats not so pretty. Motor works. Asking $3,000 - can include cases if you'd like.
2) 70's M55 with fantastic bars and a frame/resonators that are in much better shape. Motor works. Asking $3,400 - can included cases if you'd like.
3) Newer M-48 with gold bars - has K&K pickups, module, and cases. EXCELLENT condition. New cord and new rubber y-pin covers. $4,500
4) Leedy 1930s wide-bar instrument -- sounds great, works great - single speed motor works (new cord on that), $2,400.
I'll do long-term rentals in the NYC area ..or within reasonable distance...$50/month !!! (this is a sort of desperation rate as there are too many vibraphones in my living room now).
Please feel free to be in touch at jds622@gmail.com or even give me a call: 248 470 1838
I'm happy to send pictures, etc.
Thanks!
I hope my next post will be slightly more musical.
Jon
