About vibraphone

Henry Schluter, born in 1889, died in 1971.

When becoming chief-tuner at the Deagan company in 1925, he designed the first vibraphone with aluminum bars and a damper-system (by Mervin Jones) Thisparticular model 145 was introduced in 1927. Later in 1948 he became the chief-designer at the Deagan company, and stayed untill his dead in 1971.
It looks like a xylophone that has metal bars instead of wooden. The speciality of the vibraphone - also called vibes - is its vibration sound. This vibrato is made by metal disks that periodically open and close the tubular-resonators, so that a vibrato results. They are animated by a electric motor. Ancestors of the vibraphone did not have this vibrato-effect. They called metalophones. Today their name is 'metallophone'. The metal bars have a longer sound than wooden bars, they have to be damped. This can be done by the player's mallets or hand. But usually the notes are damped with a pedal. The normal range of the vibraphone is f4 to f7 (f to f'''). Some special vibes have a range of c4 to c8 (c to c''''), because some composers demand such a range.

Hi Jaijai,

Stopping by to show you some love and tell you just how much I appreciate all you've been doing here, not just for me but for this incredible community of jazz musicians. I see that The Jazz Network is growing in leaps and bounds daily and want you to know that I recognize the importance of what's going on here, musicians having a place to connect with each other, young musicians having a place to meet and be mentored by musicians who have been around the block. You've created a beautiful space here and it's obvious that folks are feeling very much at home. Thanks for sharing your time, your heart, your soul. This is a huge commitment and you've taken it on with such determination. I wish you and The Jazz Network continued success and support you in all you're doing.

“But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between us. Love one another, and let the love be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”

This is how I have felt and continue to feel since I joined The Jazz Network on March 4th 2008.
If we look back at our Village Elders one sees how they worked together to achieve and be innovative, and thanks to Jaijai and thejazznetwork.ning we are able to continue on the same path as our Village Elders.

What a great place you have created, Jaijai. Thank you so much for your dedication and vision. We musicians benefit immensely, as it brings us closer together, allows for many of us to reconnect, or discover each other for the first time. I am still getting acquainted with the enormous benefits of having this independent place for communication between all of us - artists, fans, promoters, etc., and it is a real honor for me to be featured on the Jazz Network Main Page.
