A lone figure at a party reflects that the rest of the revelers don’t know that “xylophones” with metal bars are actually glockenspiels.
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 😉

I knew what this was before clicking.
Tubular, dude!
TUBULAR BELLS!
The vibraphone wants a word. Lionel Hampton is spinning in his grave.
The marimba has left the chat.
As far as I understand, a vibraphone is basically a glockenspiel with resonators
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 :)
No, vibraphone is the setting that discretely lets you know someone is calling you without annoying everyone around you.
God damm xylophobes.
As opposed to a xylophone made of dicks, which is a cockenspiel.
Glockenspiels are usually smaller than xylophones.
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
Xylo=wood in Greek
Knowing this made this even more confusing though!
My fave part is when Ripley fights the xylophone queen in the mech outfit
Aren’t those metallophones? Last I checked glockenspiels were a different (and much smaller) critter

Is there an all encompassing term for xylophones and all the instruments that are “Xylophones” with X feature(s)?
I guess, it would be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_percussion_instrument
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.
So xylo ren is wood ren
