Marimba Mallets
What are the differences between and among the xylophone, the marimba, and the vibraphone?
What technical details include number of octaves, types of mallets, etc. used? Also, ideas on where to buy used instruments.
These are all percussion instruments with very different sounds, ranges and uses. Other than the fact you strike each one with a stick or mallet, there really is no basis for comparison.
