Best Answer

The three basic parts to a xylophone are the bars, the resonators, and the frame. The bars are made of wood (most commonly rosewood or padouk) or synthetic materials. This is the part of the instrument that is actually hit with a mallet to produce sound. The resonators are the tubes underneath each bar. These amplify the vibration of each bar and result in the sound we hear when the instrument is played. The frame is the rest of the instrument that includes the legs and base that the bars and resonators sit on.

It depends on whether you want to know what the keys are made of, or what the "names" or notes of the keys are.

They keys are made of wood. In fact, "xylo-" means wood in Greek, and "-phone" means sound in Greek. Usually a hard wood is used.

As for the notes that the keys play, they are set up like a piano keyboard, including all 12 tones.

There is the frame, the resonators, the keys, and the string (which runs through the bars).

A xylophone is made up of wooden bars, where each bar is tuned to a different note. It's played by striking the bar with a mallet or stick.
