marimba definition and meaning

What is a "marimba"?

A marimba is a percussion instrument with wooden bars arranged in a keyboard-like layout. The bars are tuned to different pitches and are played by striking them with mallets. Underneath the bars are resonators, which are tubes that amplify the sound and give it a rich, resonant quality. The marimba is known for its warm, mellow tone and is used in a variety of music genres, including classical, jazz, and world music. It is valued for its melodic capabilities and is often featured in both solo performances and ensemble settings.
