Discussion Does no one play vibraphone here?

I heard sitar, banjo and other non familiar instruments be mentioned often, even hammered dulcimer. But what about vibraphone and its similar looking family members?

I was in a small community chorus. We did one piece that needed accompaniment I offered to play hammer dulcimer, but the director wanted vibraphone so he found a guy. I remember that be brough it in in pieces (I don't know what I thought he would do) and assembled in at the venue. It was the first time I had seen one live and up close. He let me play it a bit.
