Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Born in the 1920s, the vibraphone has established itself from jazz to contemporary music thanks to its characteristic vibrato. This 3-octave format is the versatile standard for schools, big bands, and small venues, offering an excellent compromise between footprint, sound breadth, and playing comfort.

Who This Vibraphone Is For

Ideal for conservatory students as well as intermediate to advanced performers, it suits jazz, Latin, pop, film music, and percussion ensembles. Its silent mechanism and adjustable height make it suitable for both studio and stage use.

Features and Innovations

The silver anodized aluminum keyboard offers excellent tuning stability and increased resistance to oxidation. The central pedal ensures precise damper control for clean legato. The aluminum resonator tubes (bronze epoxy paint) amplify and even out the response across the entire range, while the 220 V motor with electronic speed controller allows fine adjustment of the vibrato speed. The natural cerused and varnished wooden frame, foldable, combines aesthetics, rigidity, and practicality.

Sound

The aluminum bars (58 to 38 mm, 13 mm thickness) provide a clear and singing timbre with precise attack, generous sustain, and consistent projection. Their anodized finish guarantees a homogeneous and durable response. The aluminum resonators add warmth and presence, while controlling overtones for stable intonation. The vibrato, controlled by the speed controller, allows switching from a straight sound, ideal in ensembles, to a wide tremolo typical of modern jazz.
