Nice! She has such a wonderfully nonchalant attitude. It's also cool to see a young and geeky Gary Burton in action on the vibraphone.

That's awesome. I think that's a vibraphone though. I've love to be able to play one of those.

(Left to Right) Glockenspiel, Xylophone, Marimba and Vibraphone.

Are these guys the sons of these women?

Actually there is only one Vibraphone in that "orchestra" all the ladies are playing Marimbas (longer wooden keys). A vibraphone has metal keys and a foot pedal like a piano which is used to let the notes resonate longer... a Xylophone is made out of a composite material not wood like a marimba or metal like a vibraphone. Also just metal keys without any resonators are called "bells" or "glockenspiel". Everyone’s percussion lesson for the day

My understanding is that vibraphones have metal bars and xylophones have wooden bars.
