The New Standards

Roehmeos!

So another pretty cool thing that happened this last year was this little collaboration with vibraphonist, Steve Roehm of the super group The New Standards.

He reached out to see if I’d be interested in painting a few of his hand built instruments called “Roehmeos” and of course I said yes! How cool is that? From Steve’s website, a little bit about the instruments… “‘The Roehmeo’ is a hand-crafted, custom-made, 7-note mallet percussion instrument. The bars you strike are made from brushed aluminum, giving the instrument a mellow, metallic tone. What makes this percussion instrument unique is it’s tuned to a G minor blues scale, so you can jam on the 12 bar blues in G.”

If you’re interested in buying one for yourself, contact Steve directly at teamroehm@comcast.net
