Orff Xylophones

The xylophone - xýlon wood and phōnē sound!

Xylophones belong to the family of mallet instruments. Their sound is short and percussive and the bars are arranged in a row chromatically, diatonically or pentatonically in a wide variety of designs worldwide. Xylophones belong to the core instruments of Orff's Schulwerk and are nowadays also used in music education, as individual bars can be easily exchanged in order to compose individual chords or melody lines for beginners and to illustrate them in a simplified way.
