“The term xylophone is derived from two ancient Greek words: xylon (= wood) and phoné (= sound). The name has been in use since the 19th century. Technically, every instrument that consists of a row of wood bars of various lengths which are arranged according to pitch and struck with mallets, is a xylophone.”
