The xylophone (pronounced / si'lofono / although also colloquially / ʃi'lofono /, from the Greek ξύλον xylon wood and φωνή phōnē voice) is a percussion musical instrument. Each sheet is tuned according to a specific tone (musical note) of the chromatic scale. As it can be tuned, it is a certain sound laminophone. The order of the sheets is similar to the order of the piano keyboard.

The xylophone uses both the tuning drum technique and the advanced decks. It has a more vivid timbre than the marimba, and the notes hold less. Modern xylophones include short percussion blades. A xylophone with a record lower than the record of the marimba is called xilorimba.

The xylophone has great relevance in a number of classical pieces. Some of the best known are the macabre Danse (1874) composed by Camille Saint-Saëns and "Fossils" of Carnival of the Animals (1886) by the same composer. It can also be heard in Symphony No.. 6 by Gustav Mahler.

The most commonly used resource for the xylophone is the tremolo, which is obtained by alternately playing with both sticks on the same sheet. The xylophone requires great virtuosity on the part of the percussionist. His current technique is very complex and precise from a great specialist. His role in the current orchestra is not to offer an exotic touch to the work, but it is an independent and very important timbre within the orchestral development

When the xylophone is intended to apply the Orff method, they are mounted in a rectangular or trapezoidal wooden acoustic box.

There are usually three types of xylophones:

Low

Altos

Sopranos

with a scale and a half each. As its name suggests, wooden sheets (xilo) are preferably mounted on Palo santo.
