Glockenspiel (bells), xylophone, marimba, and vibrophone all have distinctively different sounds. Xylophone actually has a harsh edge to its sound, and produces dry, staccato tones that have very little or no sustain or resonance. Itâs often used in cartoons to depict skeletons dancing, and composers use it for raunchy, macabre, or aggressive musical settings. If you want high-pitched tinkling suggestive of magic or fairies you use glockenspiel, and if you want warm, mellow tones you use marimba. Vibrophone produces a more modern, electronic sound with pure tones, and is not used in older compositions, i.e. rarely or never heard in classical orchestras.

Viola should hang out with Andre as they both like to make loud noises while around Petey.

Is this how Ruth Underwood (longtime percussionist with Frank Zappa) got started?

Good thing it was a marimba, the sound is much softer than xylophones.

Peteyâs brain in panel 1 âGirl, girl, girlâ like at the end of Inside Out. Heâs forgetting he lives with two, which could provide context ; )

Iâm not surprised, look at the size of those ears!
(I think itâs cool how Richard drew about double the number of âstanding-upâ hairs on Peteyâs head in the last panelâŠâș)

Marimbaists are so easily triggered, living on the razorâs edge as they do.

Somehow I doubt that âheenkâ-ing back at her will have the same magnitude of effect.

Petey will now always remimba that itâs a marimba and not a xylophone!
Ring, ring! Maybe itâs a happy sound. https://tinyurl.Com/ndaxh4p

Youâd have to hit a marimba really hard to make someoneâs ears ring.
I used to have a downstairs neighbor who played the marimba. He would practice at 1 AM sometimes. Nobody cared. Itâs a quiet instrument.
