I just purchased an old (1940s?) Ludwig vibraphone. It has a Bodine motor with an attachment that looks to me like a friction speed control. There is a knob you twist that presses a felt pad against a spinning disk to, I guessing, slow the motor and change the speed of the rotation of the butterflies. There are some other parts on the motor shaft that I think are heat sinks. I am thinking of cannibalizing the Ludwig to use the motor on another vibe set I have (can't tell you what it is because I bought it used and it has no identifying marks of any kind).

hi,

i love to play in this band (teenage dream) although i only play drums there. but be sure i´m prepared to play every song we do on the mallets too...just in case :)

we almost never play live cause it´s difficult to find places for such a big band. but yesterday we did and it was great fun! the song is one of my favorite zappa compositions

the line up is:

Hoger Auer - Lead Vocals
Michael Kobal - Mallets,Back Vocals,Percussion
Daniel Neustadt - Bass
Tarik Dosdogru - Drums,Back Vocals
Jörg Eschrig - Guitar,Back Vocals
Martin Lelgemann - Keyboards
Ferdinand Rexforth - Sax

Ideas for getting the most out of one idea!

Hello,

I gave my vibes to Christos Rafalides because he is in Greece for a tour and I thought that it's good idea to practise piano. I practised a funk chord loop in 12 keys doing stuff and this is me best shot. Anyway, I think that it's very important to practise piano. YOu learrn a lot from this!

Thanks

DImitris
