PERCUSSION

01

connected by rod to a motor—which produces the distinctive, warm tremolo effect heard in 
some jazz music. 

02

Vibraphone 2

03

Marimba

B

This instrument is similar to the xylophone and has resonant tubes under the sound plates. 
However, the wooden keys give it a soft, more organic sound, and it has an especially rich 
lower register-giving it a wide expressive range and making it useful as a solo instrument.

Xylophone

Celesta

The celesta is similar in structure to the piano. Hammers move and hit metal bars (similar to 
the glockenspiel) when the keys are played, producing a pretty, somewhat fragile bell sound.
