Aren’t those metallophones? Last I checked glockenspiels were a different (and much smaller) critter

Clbull ,

As opposed to a xylophone made of dicks, which is a cockenspiel.

How is it that this literally came up in conversation at the family get together over the weekend, and on Monday it’s being memed? Proof again this world is just a simulation and has memory limitations.

My fave part is when Ripley fights the xylophone queen in the mech outfit

numberfour002 ,

Is there an all encompassing term for xylophones and all the instruments that are “Xylophones” with X feature(s)?

Ephera ,

I guess, it would be this: en.wikipedia.org/…/Keyboard_percussion_instrument

son_named_bort ,

Glockenspiels are usually smaller than xylophones.

Pic of your cockenspiel?

This always messed with me as a kid because for no reason I can come up with, xylophone made sense as the metal one and glockenspiel made sense as the wood one

It took more effort than it should to unlearn this

German Glocke = English bell = made out of metal

Literally Glockenspiel = bell game

And this is why it is good advice not to think too much about that word as a German speaker.

Flughoernchen ,

Chiming in for clarification: Literally it’s “bell game” but the word’s meaning is more like “bells that play” or “bells to play with”.

Xylo=wood in Greek

Knowing this made this even more confusing though!

God damm xylophobes.

infeeeee ,

No, they are called metallophones, glockenspiel is just one of them. Other common metallophones are the tubular bells and the vibraphone

Fixed the link for you 😉

TUBULAR BELLS!

The vibraphone wants a word. Lionel Hampton is spinning in his grave.

Fester ,

The marimba has left the chat.

As far as I understand, a vibraphone is basically a glockenspiel with resonators

praise_idleness ,

Ah, I see. It’s Xylophones

bstix ,

A xylophone has wooden bars.

A marimba is a xylophone with resonator tubes.

A glockenspiel is a xylophone with metal bars…

A metal marimba is a marimba with metal bars (or a glockenspiel with resonator tubes).

A vibraphone is a metal marimba with a motor spinning a disc inside the resonators which can create a vibrato and it has a damper (sustain pedal).

oooh I see, thanks for that clarification :)

Slovene ,

No, vibraphone is the setting that discretely lets you know someone is calling you without annoying everyone around you.
