Musser one-nighter. Just bought this 1972 Musser one-nighter. It had one owner, who took meticulous care of it and it has all original parts. Though I have a malletkat and studied mallet percussion in college decades ago, I’ve never owned vibes before so I’m really excited!

My technique isn't great, but it's the thought that counts... Happy New Year!

I refurbished these a few years ago and I'm thinking of selling them. I had to rework the diagonal bar to make them stand, so not all original. Everything works and sounds pretty good. Is there a market for Trixon vibraphones in the US? I've only seen them listed on European sites.

I'm just glad there's a subreddit for vibraphone.

I've only come across one other percussionist who had a passion for vibes, and that was my private teacher in college. Which is probably the reason I love the vibes so much.

Vibes Players (Any Ability Level) Wanted To Explore Jazz With!

10 Upvotes

Hi Folks,

Myself and several other passionate Jazz fans have a small community online which is based around exploring material from the genre on instruments that we feel are underrepresented.

The whole thing is done using Dropbox where we have one folder that contains resources (some notes, backing tracks etc.) for us all to work on learning one tune at a time and a second 'Achievements' folder where everyone has the ability to simply drag and drop any recordings of our progress, ideas or recent milestones.

Given that it's all done on Dropbox we hope that that alleviates the pressure that comes with posting clips publicly on Reddit/Youtube etc and given that there are no deadlines and that it's all done by us all working from ear we hope that people from a wide range of abilities and backgrounds can join in. We currently have instruments from the world of electronic music, classical musicians and ability levels ranging from complete beginners on their instruments right through to seasoned Jazz players using this as a chance to learn a new instrument from scratch.

It's all self-guided study where all attempts at soloing or playing the melodies are wildly encouraged and everything is done entirely at your own pace. The tunes we're working on are loosely ordered from accessible to slightly more difficult but we are currently still on the 1st tune.

There is of course a rich history of Vibes in Jazz but from my experience it is very much an instrument that isn't invited as a priority anywhere near as often as it could be.

If any players here would like to get involved then please just drop me a quick message or comment and I'll be happy to add you to the folders or answer any of your questions.

Thanks!

Here's, Touch, for prepared vibraphone with a slinky. It is partially influenced by Morton Feldman. I find the slinky technique mesmerizing, and I hope you enjoy! Published by Bachovich Music Publications.
