Vibes Trailer Hitch

i came across this vibist on King St in Alexandria Virginia a few months ago.  He played while sitting  on an electric personal vehicle which he had fitted with a tow hitch mating with a tow ball at the base of the treble end of his vibraphone.  The vibes when towed rode on the two large wheels at the base end of the frame.  Here’s a video link of his playing

Most Vibraphones Are Made Using Rivets. Here's the problem.

Rivets loosen and get noisy. The omega uses stainless steel nuts and bolts. It's so much quieter. 

This is a musser. I like playing mussers and am glad to play them when I travel, but they make noise.

Team Omega said to Malletech, that that can't happen to the Omega. So there are no rivets on malletech instruments. 

Before you buy a new instrument ask if they use rivets.
