Just got my new vibes today, musser m55 gold, I love em already. Just thought I'd put something up here for fun.

HI:

I am in process of building my own set of 3 8va vibes. I have all the bars cut to the proper length with no node holes drilled as of yet. They are 1/2" thick and come in 2, 1 3/4 and 1 1/2 inch widths.

Who can I send them to for INITIAL tuning to either A-440 or A-442? I either do this or buy one on line? Help is appreciated.

I am conductor of a large civic band here in Clearwater (Dunedin) FL and we need a set but cannot spend $4K on a new outfit. Anything would help. Thanks.

Hi .-)

I got a used Adams VSWV31 Soloist vibe and it sounds great (...and yeah, all bars are in tune !).

Because the bar cords were very worn out, i got a new set... Which leads me to the question if there is any advice on setting a proper bar cord tension? How much tension should be on the cord springs? Are there any 'thumb-rules'?

best regards, Jenzz

Looking for some help on Angel Eyes, and ballads in general. I feel like there is just so much rhythmic possibility in ballads, help me figure out what I am missing!

Thanks!!

Saw this on Facebook via Joe Locke. Seems like it'd be pretty interesting to all of us :-).

You guys know about the 15 min. rule. I keep a timer with me, in fact I keep it on my desk. When my schedule is absolutely nuts, I figure out 15 min. here and there or I can practice. Since it's only 15 min. is not that big of a deal. A block out a couple times turn on the timer on and focus and practice for the 15 min. I find this could really help on those crazy days where you seem to have no time to practice all. I just thought I would pass along to you guys.

Any europeans want to buy a MalletKat? I might be in Germany June 1st. I'll have the newest MalletKat with the newest sound card in it. No malletKat has this sound card yet.
