Talk about chops.

Here are two things that might be of interest.

Part One:

I recently purchased a Ludwig and Ludwig vibraphone. IT has three octaves, wood frame, non-graduated bars(there all the same size) and a motor. Little is know about this particular brand. We have tried researching, but came across nothing. If anyone know's anything about this brand, please speak up! We know it was made before 1966 because that is when ludwig and ludwig stopped production. There is a badge/logo on the front that reads
Ludwig & Ludwig
Made in the USA
Elkheart, indiana

There is also a stamp on the low f that reads
ludwig and luwdig
made in the usa

I'd like to check hear a couple of the crossover cats try this. Maybe Phillipe Mace from France? He's a great classical player and jazz player. And really great technique, IMHO.

Happy birthday Marie!!! I don't know what I'd do without you!!! Vibesworkshop.com would be nothing without your help support and encouragement. You are a great great great friend!! We all love you and hope you have a great birthday!

Hello,
My name is stephen and i am the only jazz vibes player in my middle school. I am actually the only one to walk through as a vibe player. I recently received a set of ludwig and ludwig vibes over the holidays. I am interested in subscribing, but i have a few questions. Whats the difference between the type of memberships? Do i lose any oppertunities by getting a student membership? I enjoy playing vibes and i already take lessons. Do i need the premium membership?
Also, does anyone no how tony's 46rs sound on non-graduated bars like the ones on a jenco?

Forgive if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Marie's birthday yesterday!! I was away for the weekend and was expecting a big post, but...... nothing...!?

So let's all wish Marie-Noelle, our lovely host and friend a very Happy 'Little Late' Birthday!!!!!!!

Here's an etude with 2 parts. Dampening and then working on the left hand. It's short so it shouldn't require a lot of time to learn

My daughter Katie (20 year old vocalist) surprised me with a present of some original arrangements (she also sings all of the parts) of holiday favorites. Even though no vibes are involved I thought I would post one of these in honor of the season hoping that folks on the site might enjoy it. Thanks to Tony for a wonderful site and I'm looking forward to another great year of Vibes Workshop!
