The concert xylophone has been a one of the world’s most popular and well-known percussion instruments for thousands of years. Its name, derived from Greek, means “wooden sound,” which makes complete sense, given that the xylophone’s basic setup consists of a series of wooden bars struck by mallets. With a distinct look and charming sound, the xylophone is an instrument that is enjoyed by young and old alike. The xylophone has seen its fair share of use in the world of popular music and film scoring. Movies such as Bad Lands and True Romance made use of the xylophone to great effect, adding another layer to their narratives. Additionally, artists such as Green Day, My Chemical Romance, and Bruce Springsteen have used the xylophone as part of some of their biggest hit songs to give them a heightened, anthem-like quality.
There are a number of different types of xylophone available here, meaning you will have no trouble finding the one that is perfect for your needs. Of course, being aware of what you need specifically goes a long way in ensuring you find the perfect instrument. For example, are you a student, just learning the basics, or perhaps a teacher?
