Members air cut light Posted April 27, 2004 Members Share Posted April 27, 2004 I've got an old set of Jenco Vibes and the felt is pretty compacted on them. Where can I get new felt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liverneck Posted April 27, 2004 Members Share Posted April 27, 2004 Try Musser. Do you have a pic of your vibes? My fav of all mallet instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fafnir777 Posted April 27, 2004 Members Share Posted April 27, 2004 Try the Woodwind and Brasswind shop. They may not have it online, but write to them. I'm sure that they carry it. www.wwandbw.com/ Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drummercafe Posted April 27, 2004 Members Share Posted April 27, 2004 Contact Century Mallet Instruments in Chicago, IL ... (773) 248-7733 ... and talk to Gilberto Serna. I don't know if he is retired or not, but he is a mallet expert. I've had him work on my Deagan Commander II vibraphone before, as well as a c.1908 Deagan xylophone in which retuned and even replaced one bar with one from their vault (same aged wood). Also Repaircussions (Rochester, NY) ... 716-885-7970 ... and talk to owner Brian Stotz; he might be able to help you out as well. I don't know if this is Brian's work number or not. Personally I think you will have better luck with instrument repair than you will with specific (competitive) companies ... although no one is competing with Jenco because they don't exist anymore, but you get the idea.

Members air cut light Posted April 28, 2004 Author Members Share Posted April 28, 2004 Awesome, thanks for the help, guys. The vibes are in this photo. That's my studio at my old house; it's all crammed into a 2 bedroom apartment for the summer; come August, though, we'll be rocking in a larger room!
