A lone figure at a party reflects that the rest of the revelers don’t know that “xylophones” with metal bars are actually glockenspiels.

      As far as I understand, a vibraphone is basically a glockenspiel with resonators

        A xylophone has wooden bars.

        A marimba is a xylophone with resonator tubes.

        A glockenspiel is a xylophone with metal bars.

        A metal marimba is a marimba with metal bars (or a glockenspiel with resonator tubes).

        A vibraphone is a metal marimba with a motor spinning a disc inside the resonators which can create a vibrato and it has a damper (sustain pedal).

          No, vibraphone is the setting that discretely lets you know someone is calling you without annoying everyone around you.
