I've played vibraphone for a few years now but I have never have my own. I got to the point where I didn't have access to one anymore so I did what many percussionist want to do and bought my own instrument. I went with this one for the obvious price point. It's as low as you can find for a brand new 3 octave F to F vibraphone. So far after getting it, I've put in about 5 or 6 hours a day practicing because I love it. It's one of the best luxury decisions I've made. It feels just like a normal more expensive vibraphone, the only downside being it has non graduated bars, however this con is easy to overlook if you consider it an entry level vibraphone. It's very good for a student or someone who doesn't have the kind of money to buy a more expensive but nicer one. It also has slightly worse build quality which is to be expected, but the only real place I can see the slightly worse build quality is that there a small insignificant rattles that can be overlooked easily. I'm sure if you can identify the rattles and put some sort of cushion it would go away quiet easily. All in all, if you're wondering if you should buy this and your in the financial position too, I think you should. It has made me happy and rekindle my love for making music and I'm sure it will make any vibraphonist or aspiring vibraphonist just as happy.
