The vibraphone is the most mechanically complex and sophisticated of all mallet instruments. It was played with soft, medium and hard mallets, and with a string bow. The modern orchestra xylophone has resonator tubes for each bar, at a range of four octaves. It was recorded with six different types of mallets, including cluster mallets. The marimba is larger and has a warm and pleasing sound. This instrument was played not only with various mallets but also with handles, fingers, fingernails, a superball, and a string bow.
