Frequently Asked Questions

A parallel damper provides a more consistent, even damping across the bars, but it limits the nuanced damping control possible with a rotary damper.
Yes, the frame is well-constructed and durable enough for regular gigging, but I’d recommend two people for moving it any significant distance.
The YVD10 is a reliable and consistent motor, but it lacks the advanced features (like speed ramping) found in more expensive vibraphone motors.
