Marimba
You can play a marimba online using virtual instruments available on various music software platforms or websites. Many music production programs, like GarageBand or FL Studio, offer marimba sounds that can be triggered via MIDI controllers or computer keyboards. Additionally, there are online simulators and apps that allow you to click on virtual marimba keys to produce sound. These tools enable you to create and share marimba music without needing a physical instrument.
