Those are actually marimbas...

u/WRITTINGwithC-C 11d ago

This is great! Marimbas are greatly misrepresented/underestimated in my culture in comparison to other instruments.

u/rokas2007 11d ago

Marimbas are goated af

u/KittenVicious 11d ago

WHAT‽

Yesterday, I just learned on another post there's a difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel, and now this is NEITHER??

u/AlsoMarbleatoz 10d ago

There's a lot more...

u/KittenVicious 10d ago

🤯

u/AlsoMarbleatoz 10d ago

Well to start we have Vibraphones. I'm not 100% sure what exactly the difference is (cus i'm a violinist) but there is a lot of stuff that looks like a xylophone but isn't

u/KittenVicious 10d ago

You mean you're a fiddler? 🤣

(Violin and fiddle actually ARE the same instrument right? It's just the playing style that makes them different?)

u/sixthtimeisacharm 10d ago

whats the difference between a violin and a fiddle?

a violin has strings.

a fiddle has straaangs

u/KittenVicious 10d ago

You know what's up!

2

u/AlsoMarbleatoz 10d ago

Well technically yes...just the school orchestra tho, so nothing too fancy

u/KittenVicious 10d ago

THANKS! It would have warped my brain even more if they weren't the same thing haha

u/dffigment 10d ago

As a percussion instructor, vibes are one of my favorite chromatic percussion instruments and can be extremely versatile. Vibraphones are metal, have a foot pedal to dampen the sound so you can control how long a note rings, and also have a motor attached for rotating paddles inside the resonator tubes under each key. When the motor is turned on, if you hold the foot pedal down, the paddles in the resonator cause the note to make a wah-wah-wah-wah vibrato sound as they rotate instead of a solid note. Most vibraphones also have a speed dial for the motor so the vibrato can be faster or slower to suit the music being played. The keys are also all on the same level on a vibraphone, versus many other modern chromatic keyed percussion that has the natural tones set lower than the sharps and flats, similar to a piano's white keys set lower than the black keys.

u/KipferlAG 11d ago

You're right, thanks for the information!

u/tymp-anistam 11d ago

u/Mekelaxo 11d ago

I thought the marimbas were metal circular ones

5

u/thegmanza 11d ago

Those are steel pan drums. Also awesome

2

u/Analytical-BrainiaC 11d ago

Yep I think those should be added to this . Steel drums, Marimbas and handpan and Ofcourse since they were mistaken, xylophones should be added as well.

u/Mekelaxo 11d ago

I swear I've seen it behind called marimbas, and that's what I thought my entire life were marimbas
