Choosing the Right vibraphones - What to Consider Beforhand

Who invented the vibraphone?

The vibraphone was invented in America in 1921 by Hermann Winterhoff of the Leedy Drum Co. and almost immediately was put to use by dance band and jazz musicians. Starting in the 1930s a few orchestral composers started to occasionally incorporate it in their works.

What sound does a vibraphone make?

The vibraphone can produce a variety of timbres, from dark and mellow to shiny and bright. The sound comes from a series of tuned tone bars being struck by mallets, with a general range of three to four octaves, depending on the model.

Does vinegar make metal shiny?

A mixture of salt, plain flour, and white vinegar can also help to make metal shiny. Apply it to the tarnished metal, leave for 1-2 hours, then remove.

Editor's Notes

To make this list of the top vibraphones we spent 33 hours to analyze over 1092 buyer reviews carefully. As a result, our editors chose the 13 products most people truly liked. They boast of the rating of 120, on average, and cost around $221.

Steve loves music. Steve Romanoski and his wife live in Alaska. They are always on the go, exploring new places and trying out new products (especially those which can help them enjoy the great musics even more). When he's not writing about products, Steve Romanoski enjoys reading books about history and science. He likes to think of himself as a renaissance man, but his wife would probably say that he's just a big kid at heart.
