The wooden bars on a marimba come in different lengths and widths. A long, wide bar sounds a low note, and a short, narrow bar sounds a high note.
In the picture
- The longest, widest bar: it sounds the lowest note
- A middle bar, medium in length and width: it sounds a note in between
- The shortest, narrowest bar: it sounds the highest note
Examples
- A big bass drum booms low, while a small bongo drum sounds higher.
- A grown-up’s voice usually sounds lower than a child’s voice.
Key takeaways
- Long, wide bars vibrate slowly and make low notes.
- Short, narrow bars vibrate quickly and make high notes.
