What is a vibraphone?
 

  A Vibraphone is similar in appearance to the xylophone and marimba, although the vibraphone uses aluminum bars instead of  wooden bars.  The metal bars allow the vibraphone to produce a wide variety of sounds from clean and pure to atmospheric and spacey.  Jazz Pioneers such as Lional Hampton and Milt Jackson helped bring international recognition to the vibraphone.
