	Marimba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bars of the marimba are wider and thinner than those of the xylophone, especially at the center; this change in shape causes the bars to respond a different set of overtones found in the overtone series, giving the instrument a richer tone.
		Traditional marimba bands are especially popular in Guatemala, where they are the national symbol of culture, but are also found in Costa Rica and parts of the highlands of southern Mexico, as well as among Afro-Ecuadorians; gyil duets are the traditional music of Dagara funerals in Ghana.
		The Marimba or Shilimba or Shinjimba as the Nkoya People of Western Zambia call it are believed to be the introducers of the Shilimba or "marimba" instrument in Southern Africa.

		Marimbas are played with mallets made specially for the purpose, usually holding one or two mallets in each hand (for a total of two or four).

	Nancy Zeltsman: Introduction to the Marimba
		The first crude beginnings of the marimba were several slabs of wood placed on sticks set over a hole in the ground which served as a resonating chamber.
		The xylophone is another close relative of the marimba — actually, a little bit closer relative than the vibraphone —; for, like the marimba, its keys are also made of wood and it has no sustain pedal or motorized "vibrato"-discs.
		The marimba is primarily taught within this larger framework: "percussion." I studied piano from the age of five but switched to percussion at age 13.

		On modern instruments the bars or "keys" are arranged much as they are on a piano: the bars for the sharps and flats (corresponding to the fl piano keys) are in a second row further from the player and slightly above the row of bars representing the natural notes (the white keys on a piano.
		The marimba is played by striking the bars with mallets which come in a wide variety of shapes, coverings, weights, and sizes.
		Because the marimba is played with mallets and is often arranged as a keyboard, it is often referred to as a "mallet percussion" or "keyboard percussion" instrument.
