Here's my final version of CHE RO KEE

The etude is here:

So a lot's been happening. Some behind the scenes, which is why I haven't been online as much as usual.

Here's the scoop:

First thanks to Joe Locke who talking with Nico Vanderplas and Bill Youhass agreed to send a 3.5 octave set of vibes down to vibes workshop. What a gift! You heard my old instrument. Well it might be great for practicing, but when I would get hate mail from Piper about the sound I knew something had to be done. I just wasn't sure what! Then Joe, Nico and Bill came to the rescue. Thanks so much!!!

i post it as a special request by marie and hope you like it. auvergne is a special region in france unfortunatley i never was there till now but it must be a very nice landscape

HI,
I am writing a dissertation for my degree about the vibes.
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any information of the history of the development of the vibraphone, and also if possible the physics and synthesis behind the sound.
Thank you everyone
