A lone figure at a party reflects that the rest of the revelers don't know that "xylophones" with metal bars are actually glockenspiels.

The vibraphone wants a word. Lionel Hampton is spinning in his grave.
The marimba has left the chat.
Sad Joe Porter noises
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.
Ah, I see. It's Xylophones
