Talk about the companies making the vibes and mallets!
1.What are vibraphone bars made of? Type of aluminum?
2.How does Musser make the bars?
3.How do you tune the bars?
4.What is the best alloy for bars?
5.What would be wrong with using 2" wide bars on all bars?

I have been playing drums 45 years most of the time pro . I have always loved the vibes, for a short time in the late 70's i had a few lessons but due to being on the road i never had time to stay with it. back then i had a set of jenco. i am looking to start playing and want to get a good set of vibes. Because most of my work now as a drummer is electric (roland TD20 sx) I picked up a malletkat pro ws and a kurzweil sound mod. I am now looking for a set of vibes for my home studio. I was looking at the musser 55 pro also looking at the musser 58m piper, any advice on witch way to go?
Hi all!
I visited the www.rossmallets.com site and it turned out that apparently Ross vibes are no longer available but there is another brand called Majestic that belongs to Jupiter who has a new series of vibes.
Check it out: http://www.jupitermusic.com/majestic/
It seems that I bought an already no more existing "vintage" brand vibe - probably bad for reselling :-(
