Xylophon
These small Xylophones are securely mounted on a beech wood frame. The sound bars are made of acacia wood. The beautiful and clean tune comes from their solid construction of precious materials. Comes in a box with 2 mallets.
These two kinds of instruments reach back into antiquity. Originally stone bars were used which were then replaced with wooden bars and much later a resonance body. The resonance body increases the duration of the sound and the volume. The instrument was brought to Africa through East Indian trading people and to Latin America with the slave trade. It is also said that the Celtic people used a relative of the marimbas and xylophones called a Lithophon (litho=stone) and also used an Amadinda made out of wood.

I enjoy the rich overtone sounds of my marimba and the fact that the instrument dismantles easily and can be stored in a small space. As I am taking around 80 instruments in my car to each seminar I teach, this fact is very important to me. Worlfram Spiegel, Teacher, Hanover |  |
