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.
