xylorimba造句

• A xylophone with a range extending downwards into the marimba range is called a xylorimba.
• The latter piece was the result of a commission for a composition for three trombones and three xylophones; Messiaen added to this more brass, wind, percussion and piano, and specified a xylophone, xylorimba and marimba rather than three xylophones.

• "The lower notes of the xylorimba sound like a xylophone rather than a marimba on account of the bars being thicker and narrower than those of a marimba ( the bars of the xylophone and the marimba are shaped differently to emphasize different overtones ) and of the different size and shape of the resonators ".
