  17. More on the Marimba • Warm, resonant and woody • Brilliant in high register, but less projection (depending on mallet choice) • Low Register Rocks! • Four Mallet technique - avoid intervals more than an octave in each hand. Think about lower octave space • Poor sustain - Rolls needed to sustain pitch

  18. Ranges • Xylophone

  19. More on the Xylophone • upper register - brittle and woody • lower register is darker but less piercing • Sounds up an octave • rapid passages - single lines • Although 4 mallet is possible, 2 mallet is more standard • Rapid Decay - sustain with roll
