What is a "vibraphone"?
A vibraphone is a percussion instrument consisting of metal bars arranged in a keyboard layout. It produces sound when the bars are struck with mallets. Each bar is equipped with a resonator tube below it, which amplifies the sound and can be adjusted for different tones. The vibraphone is known for its bright, shimmering sound and is often used in jazz and classical music. It also features a motor-driven mechanism that adds a vibrato effect, enhancing its distinctive, resonant quality.
