Vibraharp is a musical instrument that belongs to the percussion family. It is sometimes referred to as the vibraphone, vibrophone, or simply vibes. The instrument consists of metal bars that produce different tones when struck by mallets or hammers. The sound is amplified by resonators that are equipped with motor-driven fans, creating a unique and distinct "vibrato" effect.
Synonyms for vibraharp include marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, and chimes. Each of these instruments has a varying number of bars and resonators and produces a unique sound. The marimba, for example, has wooden bars that produce a warm, mellow tone, while the xylophone has high-pitched, bright tones. Similarly, the glockenspiel produces sharp and clear tones, while the chimes create a bell-like sound.
