Hello mallet folks - this pertains to any German vibists out there.
I am playing a duo concert with Brad Shepik on Jan. 18, 2014 in Passau and I am in desperate need of a vibraphone for the show. Any info/leads are much appreciated.
Thanks!

So I use the motor with my vibes, but it is making a squeaking sound when it oscillates. I'm not sure what to lubricate... or if I need to lubricate anything at all. Anyone have some advice? Thanks!

And if you can’t attend, just keep on playing: it will help too! :o)

Bela Fleck traveled to Africa to make a film and perform with local musicians. This excerpt features a giant marimba. The resonating chamber is a hole dug in the ground. The enormous hand carved bars a placed over the hole. I've never seen anything like it!

Here is the final independence exercise. This one deals with a little mallet independence of breaking up and arpeggiating chords. This one is great for learning how the break up voicings and use guide tone leading lines in between melody notes. Good luck!
