My school has a pair of these yellow vibraphone mallets that I really like the sound of. They're made by Stagg, and that's about all I know about them. Does anyone know where I can find a pair of these for myself?

The hole where the wing nut goes is stripped, and I'm trying to replace the rod itself. I'm trying to take out the pedal rod pin, but I'm having no luck getting it out. Any suggestions on the best method in either removing the pin or a better way of replacing the rod?

I've been selected for a small ensemble workshop in a few weeks, and while there was a lot of positivity towards the piece, the vibraphone part was deemed not idiomatic enough for the instrument. It was a tight deadline and I'll admit that sections of the vibes part were pretty much placeholders. But what does idiomatic vibes writing mean to you? I understand it for piano and guitar because I play those instruments, but not that familiar with vibes, would guess it's stuff that falls naturally under the hands and makes the instrument sound its best.

Apart from a few bowed notes, there are block chords and the main melody recapped at the end while the other instruments (flute and cello) do something else. I know I can arpeggiate the chords a bit and sprinkle some other notes from the melody in there to make it more of a wash, but what would you think if handed this part? Too simple?

ps the opening shaker bit should really be feathered beams but my notation software can't manage that, so it looks a bit clunky.

I'm looking to buy my first vibraphone and this showed up on Ebay, The buyer seems to have high reserve price exceeding 1200 pounds (1500 dollars plus 200 shipping) and while cheap as far as vibraphones go, I'm sceptical as to the quality of the instrument, the seller isnt a musician and doesnt know much about it other that seems to be in good condition, could any one tell me about it?

Would I be better off picking one like this? Student grade instrument but modern made.

Is it possible to play vibraphone with traditional grip? I mean the one used for the drums, not the multiple mallet technique.
