Category: Xylophone

The xylophone (from the Ancient Greek words ξύλον—xylon, “wood”^[1] + φωνή—phōnē, “sound, voice”,^[2] literally meaning “sound of wood”) is a musical instrument in the percussion family that consists of wooden bars struck by mallets. Like the glockenspiel, the xylophone essentially consists of a set of tuned keys arranged in the fashion of the keyboard of a piano. Each bar is an idiophone tuned to a pitch of a musical scale, whether pentatonic or heptatonic in the case of many African and Asian instruments, diatonic in many western children’s instruments, or chromatic for orchestral use.
