Has it been realised that it would be possible to operate the vibrato speed with footpedal as well so you could pretty much forget about the preset ? Also it looks that it would be more ergonomic to play if the instrument was angled forward, in other words slightly away from the player. The angle of wrists related to the bars would be considerable less causing less friction. Some keyboard players do that.

I don't play vibraphone, or any percussive instrument at that (I play trombone), but I have to say, next to baritone sax, vibraphone is one of my favorite jazz instruments (that I don't play).
The vibrato is actually a tremolo similar to what is used on an electronic organ. The motor he mentioned is attached via a rubber belt that spins a shaft, this shaft has a disc attached to it in each tube under the vibraphone keys, this creates the tremolo effect. Organs use a Styrofoam baffle with just a portion cut out to allow the sound to pass from the speaker at a different frequency causing the tremolo effect. It would be similar to placing your hand in front of your mouth as you make a sound, moving your hand forward and back causes a tremolo effect.

He does know that the "vibrato" effect is really amplitude modulation and has little to do with pitch variation. There is of course a minor pitch modulation aspect to the butterfly value rotation but it is mainly for amplitude modulation.
I thought they duplicated then phase shifted one of the waveforms, and the knob controlled the speed of the phase shift. Obviously the phase shift does alter the pitch of the 'wet' waveform, but not noticeably. The amplitude change is a side effect of the phase shifted waveform canceling out the original waveform.
hello! thx a lot for ur video! But I'm not sure if I need to depress the pedal when the motor is turning on, can u tell me this please? thank u very much!
Cool! Uhm, How can I notate this ruclips.net/video/AV9biGrLGYk/видео.htmlm32s soud ('keep down and pull back' Technique) on the score? is there special notation?
You couldn't borrow a personal mic? Phooey. I hope you'll reshoot someday and use microphones. Using the camera's mic in an enclosed, hard walled space is a very bad idea. Now you know. Forward!

Fantastic video! I'm a beginning glockenspiel player, but some of your techniques apply to that instrument as well.
I love so much this instrument...
I love your grammar
Me too!! Ever since I I heard Soul Sauce by Cal Tjader back in 1964 and Joe Cuba Sextet I was hooked to the vibes.
Great tips, especially the one about composing an etude. I really liked the little one you wrote for the double stroke, very Philip Glass :)
'CAUSE THIS IS THRILLEEEER
This is really an exceptional video. This instruction is better than what I received from my teacher.
Thanks bro that really helped to know the instrument better!
Many thanks for posting - I'm writing a piece for solo percussion and this has been very helpful. Michael from London.
I want that red jacket...
+rzeka Perhaps at this time 6 years after publishing the video he could give it to you for free or ... what's left of it.
Wow, this is so helpful! (And mindblowing technique, nice work!)

Very informative; thanks for the video!
Thank you for the tutorial!
I'm not a vibraphonist but I find this really interesting
Great player! Thank you!
" A nice vibrato sound" seems to have died a death with most modern players
but to me it is the sound of the vibes !
Cool! Thank you!
Nice work! My new fave instrument... \m/ (:o)
Brilliant video.

Its Tremelo
Thanks!
why use vibrato when you can just have two vibes playing with each one being 10 cents out of tune in opposite directions
this was epic
Very helpful!!!!!
this was epic x3
How does the vibrato WORK though?
Is it couterweights you have on the mallets?
Super awesome
this was epic x2
What is the vibraphone you are playing? (brand and model, price etc.)
yamaha
Hi! This is very helpful! I'm gonna compose for vibraphone. What music scores would you recommend to study this techniques?
Thanks
Thank you for this... but what were those mallets?
Where did you get those awesome mallets? I've searched the web for those for a long time .
hello! thx a lot for ur video! But I'm not sure if I need to depress the pedal when the motor is turning on, can u tell me this please? thank u very much!
Charlie? From Sunny?
Which model of Yamaha?
What do you have in the middle of your mallets?
Can u post video on how to memorize the octives
MannyAwesome 101 1. Octaves 2. It is literally just 8 notes, how do you not know what an octave is?
I don’t have a motor
vibrafone ;DD

What song was that at 2:50?
It is Bach's suite no. 1 for cello
The prelude from Bach Suite No. 1 for cello.
