Hey everyone, please welcome Casey Cangelosi. We're hoping Casey is going to be our marimba specialist on the site! Here's his first test video. It's not perfect but I thought I'd post it anyway!

Jenco vibes restoration circa 1991. Before and after. Unfortunately I did not take photos of the process itself, which, in hindsight, would have been worthwhile. It was quite a pile of rubble to begin with. I was fortunate to have all of the bars, even though at the time I didn't really know how many I was supposed to have. There was a pedal made from electrical conduit attached to a nylon cord. It was replaced with a nice looking bar made from one of those old, beige, Samsonite folding metal chairs (a stroke of genius) and a piece of oak. I found a small, high torque motor for the fans.

Just a heads up. If you're planning on coming to the Delaware workshop, it's starting to fill up. There was a lot of advertising outside of Vibesworkshop so between that and VW members it's inching it's way up there. If you're a VW member and want to attend, let me know and I'll hold a few spots for a couple weeks while you're getting your application in.

here´s from today´s rehearsel body and soul in a arrangement i like very much by our guitar player. sorry for the guitar being a bit too loud in the mix but i had no chance to change that.

This is a video I did a few months ago of me playing Autumn leaves.
I really struggle with these solo performances (especially improvising over changes!)
What's my weakness? And the next step to improving? Any other points to make?

For example if you're searching for Gary Burton video, you'd enter Gary Burton in the search as a phrase box and then click on video on the right. This will narrow things down a lot. You'll still probably have to sift through stuff, but not nearly as much as if you search the whole site.
