An excerpt from David Friedman's Workshop. Here he's talking about common tones.

This is a beautiful sound! After hearing 16 vibraphones in chaos during warmups before class, it was great to hear them playing the same tune. What a beautiful sound!

Young musicians beginning their career at this level...

Hi!

I've been chatting whith Marie recently and I had to promise her to put some pics of my little son playing vibes on the site. He and his mother are using my vibes in two ways: as table for baby clothing and other (leightweight) stuff and also just as a big fine sounding toy. Yea and the vibes' frame helps my son with learing to stand up and walk.
So if you ever consider acquiring a set of vibes have the manyfold purposes for kids in mind!

Cheers Stefan

P.S. Tony can you telle me how to add the pics to the post please?

Man Danny Gottlieb was playing the DrumKat today! It sounds just like a drum set!!

I'm curious about other people's experience with mallet break in. I have a set of mallets that sounded really harsh (i.e. too hard) when I first played them and now they sound really great.

Interesting sounds and nice playing ! Enjoy !

Thank you Mike Balter for making this years workshop a big success!!!
