What is a Vibraphone?

[@lemagreengreen]

Super interesting, have always liked this sound but had no idea how the instrument actually worked. The sustain on these is amazing, it seems to go on forever. Thank you for the video

[@connercurrier9750]

Most beautiful instrument ever made :)

Have you seen my M500 on my channel?

Tongue drums are nice too.

If you want to hear what I think is a pure clean voice alongside the vibraphone, Canadian jazz artist, Diana Panton, has imo the most beautiful pure crisp voice

I've always loved the vibraphone but never knew it had the resonating tubes and the spinning discs. Veryy cool demonstration.

[@fabrisse7469]

If you haven't heard the tune "The Martyr" by Modern Jazz Quartet, you need to. It's a gorgeous blend of vibes and electric piano plus bass and drums, of course.

[@pinball4532]

Fantastic! Thank you for this.

[@astrogabalus1630]

You covered all there is to know about the instrument without being pedantic. I too look forward to see your evolution as a vibraphonist, It should not be too hard, you’re almost there. What makes you a good musician is, I think, your awareness of the technical aspects of the various instruments you touch and music in general.

[@truthseeker3907]

Thank You James and Keep up the Good Work! :) Thumbs up Indiana USA.

[@zauwee]

Thanks! Excellent demo.

[@CurtisMcLeodMusic]

Cool, love the sound of these (I sometimes play vibraphone setting on my digital piano) but never really knew anything about them. Keep on delivering on the cool content.

[@markusfuller]

Thanks James. Hi from a UK fan. I always look forward to your videos. The Vibraphone is a wonderful instrument and I have always loved that sound though I only have it in synthesizer form. It would be wonderful to own a real one and one in such great condition.

[@charleskesner1302]

Wonderful sound.

[@ChadAmI80]

Awesome video! I learned so much from this. Looking forward to your comparison video and seeing your progress with the double mallets.

[@asamiyashin444]

5:50, Now, I know the instrument used on "Heidi" soundtracks 😄.

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

Cool! Enjoyed this man.

[@johnwalters878]

Those spinning plates might be called chokes. Almost like a choke or throttle plate in a carburetor

[@rikspector]

Hi James, Back in prehistoric times (the late 50's and 60's, I had an album called "Soul Sauce", by a great jazz Vibe player , Cal Tjader. He was a wonderful musician . I was a Big Fan of Benny Goodman band.. Lionel Hampton was his fantastic Vibe player, he was also an excellent pianist and percussionist. Sound familiar? :) Being the talented and scholarly musician you are, I guess you know that there were some classical compositions as well. I hope I'm not preaching to the choir by mentioning these things. I think the Rosauro Concerto for vibraphone and Orchestra is one of the more well known ones. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@fabrisse7469]

Milt Jackson? I love Red Norvo and Lionel Hampton, but Milt Jackson -- especially his work with Modern Jazz Quartet -- is the tone I love. Jackson changed the rate of vibration to match that of the human voice, or so I've been told.

[@brooksideplaylists]

Great video, thanks

[@borisc6714]

Wait until you discover the bowing technique... to be used sparingly, but oh so strange sounding...

[@TheMikester307]

Wow!

[@RabbitConfirmed]

This is awsome. It's like a vibe piano :D

[@danielmkubacki]

Cool.

[@_Gouki]

Why is it not called a Tremolophone? I thought Vibrato was pitch modulation when this is amplitude modulation.

[@nicholassimmons6719]

Is the M75 frame or harp height adjustable in any way? Such that it could be raised or lowered to accommodate a tall or short person, or to accommodate preference?

[@alberto798]

Discovered you yesterday, your channel is amazing, keep going! Going to buy my first used upright piano in a few weeks, would love any more advice from you (saw your 30 min video about what to look for when buying used)

[@ThePianoforever]

Just don't be in a hurry. There are loads of used pianos out there, and the more you look the more you will understand about what you are looking for.

[@robertveal7187]

Listen to Starbuck band they use them instruments in their music

[@jasongreek2342]

I'm pretty sure any musical instrument can be made better by adding some manner of spinning gadget to it. I have yet to find evidence to the contrary.

[@elmovisser6531]

Now this is interesting!!! Looking forward to the series you spoke about! Just how many instruments do you actually play? Good work keep on! Well done!

[@ThePianoforever]

Music is all very similar in the sense of how things work in theory, so once you a good understanding of one instrument the learning curve of others becomes less.

[@somefreelog]

Thank you for your videos, they're very informative. I have a question and I wondered if you could answer it: I noticed different manufacturers use different pedals, as in different sized pedals. Some are similar to piano pedals and other are long bars. Is there any difference when playing? Should I look for a specific type of pedal when looking for a vibraphone? Or is it purely an aesthetical matter? Thank you very much for your help!

[@jazaabdullah8846]

That is why Viber App called. Its name came from the name of its sound.
