Orchestras normally have 1 xylophone or no xylophones at all.
Percussion instruments can be categorized into two main groups: pitched percussion and unpitched percussion. Pitched percussion instruments produce definite pitches, such as xylophones and marimbas, while unpitched percussion instruments produce indefinite pitches, such as drums and cymbals.
Percussion instruments change pitch by altering the tension of the drumhead or striking area, affecting the vibration frequency when played. Other percussion instruments, like xylophones or tambourines, produce different pitches by varying the size or material of the striking surface. Some instruments, like timpani or hand drums, can also be tuned to specific pitches by adjusting the tension of the drumheads.
There are different grips for different pitches. Know the different pitches so you can work on the several grips
Metal xylophones use metal or rubber mallets. Wooden xylophones use metal mallets due to there slower vibrations. The metal mallets help increase its vibrations and make it sound as bright crisp as metal xylophones.
