Driving home from the gig

Yeah, I had this thought. I’ve been playing on a Deagon vibraphone for the last month. It’s an old beautiful instrument, really fun to play and sounds great.

It just popped in my head out of nowhere that the Musser vibes enabled four mallet playing to come into it’s own. The bars on the Deagon are graduated however they’re smaller than the musser and when I play four mallets on the Deagon it’s harder.

Now maybe that’s just because I’m not used to it. However I have a hunch that is wasn’t just Burton but it was the Musser that also contributed to the 4 mallet explosion.

Maybe I’m totally wrong?
