WHAT DOES XYLORIMBA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

xylorimba

Xylorimba

The xylorimba is a pitched percussion instrument corresponding to a xylophone with an extended range. Like the xylophone and marimba, the xylorimba consists of a series of wooden bars laid out like a piano keyboard "with a compass sufficiently large to embrace the low-sounding bars of the marimba and the highest-sounding bars of the xylophone." "The lower notes of the xylorimba sound like a xylophone rather than a marimba on account of the bars being thicker and narrower than those of a marimba and of the different size and shape of the resonators". The usual playing range of a modern xylorimba is five octaves: from the C one octave below middle C to the C four octaves above middle C. It is a transposing instrument, since music for xylorimba is written an octave lower than it sounds, using a grand staff with both bass and treble clefs. "As the marimba-xylophone it was a popular instrument in the 1920s and 30s, particularly in vaudeville". As the xylorimba it has been called for in a number of 20th-century classical works. The name has been a source of confusion.
