  • For Vibraphone and Electronics Written for SPLICE Institute and Shaun Cayabyab
    Nathaniel Haering for vibraphone and electronics written for SPLICE Institute and Shaun Cayabyab Resplendent Shards Performance Notes -Accidentals do not carry through un-metered measures -If a specific duration is not shown in a free time section, the rubato pacing is completely at the discretion of the performer. -Assume feather pedaling when specific instructions are not given -Requires 4 average cord vibraphone mallets with rattan handle, a Bass Bow, and a hard mallet for pitch bending. Malletech Bob Becker BB34 suggested for pitch bending. ​ -Piece begins with 4 mallet stevens grip, transitions to holding bow in right hand and a cord medium hard rubber mallet in the 1st and 2nd positions respectively. The piece ends with a return to normal 4 mallet grip. -Arrows suggests a smooth and incredibly slow transition from one technique to another. This is used to show movement from dampened to open pedaling over the approximate space shown and to move on to and off of nodes on pitches marked with a dot inside a hollow note. When traditional pedaling is implied the notation “Ped” will be used. -Downward arrows require the performer to use the hard mallet to add density to the bar and move from the center node outward to lower the pitch -Up bow symbol alongside a staccato and accent asks that the bow be pulled quickly and viciously across the bar. At peak volume, stop with the hairs of the bow remaining in contact with the bar to instantly halt the sound. This creates a loud staccato burst with no residual resonance -Down bows suggest traditional bowing, allowing the note to resonate naturally -Notes with Plus Signs accompanying them suggest dead strokes; notes dampened upon hit with the mallet.

  • SIMPLEX Splitting Axe• Thin Shape, with Cast Iron Housing and Hickory
    Forestry Tools SIMPLEX splitting axe SIMPLEX splitting axe • thin shape, with cast iron housing and hickory handle 3007.750 Product Description Combining two tools into one, a splitting axe and a soft-face mallet of the highest professional quality, Halder's SIMPLEX splitting axes offer a significant savings in cost compared to the individual purchases of the tools. The top-tier quality of the product has been confirmed by the committee for forestry work and forestry technology (KWF). The drop-forged and hardened axe blade is ground and polished. Its slender shape makes it ideal for splitting coniferous wood. The leather cutting protection prevents injury during transport. The superplastic insert with D50mm is a medium hard plastic insert made of extruded and extremely homogeneous material. Compared to injection moulded plastic inserts, it is therefore considerably more wear-resistant and durable. Using the soft side when wedging the wood open entirely eliminates the risk of injury from metal splinters. What is more, the service life of plastic and aluminium wedges is extended substantially. Made of cast iron, the housing comes with an integrated handle protection sleeve that provides for a high level of break resistance. The long-fibre and ultra durable hickory handle is varnished and shaped ergonomically. The total weight is 2,700g. In line with the smart SIMPLEX principle, all components are replaceable and can be retrofitted. This translates to savings in both money and resources. Product features: • 2 tools in 1: Splitting axe plus soft-face mallet, considerably less costly than buying the tools individually. • The drop-forged axe blade with its thin shape is ideal for splitting coniferous wood.

  • Extended Performance Techniques and Compositional Style in the Solo
    EXTENDED PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUES AND COMPOSITIONAL STYLE IN THE SOLO CONCERT VIBRAPHONE MUSIC OF CHRISTOPHER DEANE Joshua D. Smith, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2008 APPROVED: Mark Ford, Major Professor Eugene Migliaro Corporon, Minor Professor Christopher Deane, Committee Member Terri Sundberg, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Smith, Joshua D., Extended performance techniques and compositional style in the solo concert vibraphone music of Christopher Deane. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2008, 66 pp., 1 table, 8 figures, 20 musical examples, references, 29 titles. Vibraphone performance continues to be an expanding field of music. Earliest accounts of the presence of the vibraphone and vibraphone players can be found in American Vaudeville from the early 1900s; then found shortly thereafter in jazz bands as early as the 1930s, and on the classical concert stage beginning in 1949. Three Pieces for Vibraphone, Opus 27, composed by James Beale in 1959, is the first solo concert piece written exclusively for the instrument. Since 1959, there have been over 690 pieces written for solo concert vibraphone, which stands as evidence of the popularity of both the instrument and the genre of solo concert literature. Christopher Deane has contributed to solo vibraphone repertoire with works that are regarded as staples in the genre. Deane’s compositions for vibraphone consistently expand the technical and musical potential of the instrument.

  • PLYWOOD MALLET.Pdf
    PLYWOOD MALLET Slick method of making a mallet - never need to worry about the handle loosening. See my earlier post re ergonomic parameters, apparently you should determine the bevel angle on the striking face based on mallet handle length and the length of your arm from elbow to wrist. Who knew. With three layers of 3/4" plywood, it's 2-1/4" wide, maybe just add a 1/2" layer on each side if you need something a little beefier - or maybe build in a cavity and fill it with lead shot?. The handle winds up only 3/4" thick, thinking that maybe an additional 1/4" layer on either side would let you get a little more rounded profile to the grip area - easy enough to do though (maybe make patterns to use on the router table) and Baltic Birch plywood would be the way to go. Mallet Head Angle By swirt on March 30, 2011 at 6:30 am in techniques, tools I’ve seen this issue come up and get discussed on several forums. A joiners mallet is pretty simple to make, so it is a quick and satisfying shop project to get one constructed, but then the question arises, “what angle should be put on the head?” This is an important question with advice ranging from “we don’t need no stinking angle” to use the angle that allows it to sit flat on a bench. I discovered the answer to this question in a few old Timber Framing books. It makes sense that a Timber Framer would have the answer, as they do more chiseling than most woodworkers, and certainly heavier chiseling than all.

  • CLASSIC WORKBENCH Design, Construction Notes & Techniques
    BENCHCRAFTED CLASSIC WORKBENCH Design, Construction Notes & Techniques Copyright, Benchcrafted December 2016 www.benchcrafted.com 1 DESIGN When we set out to design a new workbench for our customers, from the very beginning we decided it should, above all, be simple. Not only in function, but also to build. We make no bones about it, our vises are designed and made to work sweetly, but not to a price point. However, not everyone is ready for their ultimate Split Top Roubo bench build, either monetarily, or technically. For those looking to get their feet wet in traditional woodworking, using time-proven techniques and tools, this bench will provide all the workholding required to test the waters. For many, this will be all the bench you need, and for others it will be an excellent springboard to our Split Top Roubo, while keeping the Classic as a second bench. The Classic Workbench is based largely on the famous Plate 11 workbench from Roubo’s “The Art of the Joiner”. We’ve built dozens of these “Roubo” benches over the past decade, helped others build hundreds more and examined extant French benches from the period. We’ve haven’t changed our opinion on this fundamental design. The Classic is a simpler, easier to build version of Roubo’s Plate 11 bench that captures all the functionality of Roubo’s design. French technical schools of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were outfitted with benches just like this. Paring down the bench to its essentials, we’ve incorporated our Classic Leg Vise, Planing Stop and Holdfast as workholding devices.
