The main difference between a marimba and a xylophone is the material used to make the keys. Marimba keys are typically made of wood, while xylophone keys are made of metal or synthetic materials. Additionally, marimbas are larger and have a deeper, richer sound compared to xylophones.
There have indeed been changes made on the xylophone to improve it over the years. The keys for example were rearranged.
Vibraphones and Xylophones are very similar in that they are both mallet percussion instruments: keys of various pitches are struck with mallets. Vibraphones, however, have a pedal used to sustain notes, which a xylophone does not have. A vibraphone also has metal keys, while a xylophone is generally made of wood or fiberglass.
A marimba is a musical instrument that looks like a xylophone. It was first made in southern Mexico. The material to make them can be either metal or wood, and rosewood is the best wood to create this instrument with.

Mallets are used for the xylophone. I myself own one and you can get mallets most likely at your local music store (or order off the internet.) Do NOT use drumsticks. Those are made for drums. Not a xylophone.
It depends what material they are made from
The keys used to be made out of ivory but are sometimes now made out of plastic like material over wood.
no the xylophone was only made in Asia
The main difference between a marimba and a xylophone is the material used to make the bars. Marimba bars are typically made of wood, while xylophone bars are made of metal or synthetic materials. Additionally, marimbas are larger and have a deeper, richer sound compared to xylophones.
The white keys were originally ivory, the black ones were hardwood.
The keys of the clarinet can either be made from nickel or silver.
