The difference between piano and xylophone

Piano and xylophone belong to the category of piano. The difference is that the sound of piano is crisp and the pitch of xylophone is higher than that of piano.

Mustel Victor of Paris invented the piano. His son (mustel, August) applied for a patent and officially owned this instrument. The original pronunciation used a series of tuning forks, also known as steel forks. 1886 was officially named Pianput. Actually, Pianput's soundbar and speakers are all made of aluminum. Originally a proprietary product, but now the patent right has disappeared, so a low-level musical instrument began to appear.

The piano was invented by Mustel, a Frenchman. The original pronunciation system used a series of tuning forks,

Also known as harpsichord. 1886 was officially named Pianput. Actually, Pianput's soundbar and speakers are all made of aluminum. The piano is shaped like a small reed organ, and the sound source is made of metal strips. It is played with a percussion instrument similar to a piano, and has a pedal damper to control the length of the sound, similar to a keyboard piano, but each steel bar is attached with a speaker to amplify the volume and make the tone clear and pure. The range of a piano is generally CC(4), 4 octaves. As a keyboard instrument, Tchaikovsky used the piano for the first time in his works, and in the ballet "The Nutcracker" and "Candy Fairy Dance". The piano can be played in the same way as the piano, such as scales, chromatic scales, chords, staccato chords and arpeggios. Its strength is weak, and it can be solo or add color to other instruments.

This xylophone xylophone is made up of a group of small rectangular blocks. These wooden blocks are arranged in a certain order. When playing, two mallets are used to knock on the wood block, which makes a sound slightly like the tapping sound of bones. The sound quality is strong and harsh, and the penetration is extraordinary. The range of modern xylophone has three octaves. In the past, the notation of xylophone was eight octaves higher than the actual sound. Starting from San Sang, it was recorded according to the actual pitch. However, xylophone needs the accompaniment of other musical instruments (such as piano and orchestra) to set off its unique timbre and make it more attractive.

Muqin was made in the14th century, and was mostly used for solo. The original xylophone was produced in Asia, Africa and South America. It was introduced to Europe in15th century. Russian dulcimer Kuskov performed a xylophone solo in Europe in 1930s. It was appreciated by musicians such as Mondl Song and became famous from then on.

Slate piano:

Percussion instruments and percussion instruments. Percussion instruments used in European orchestras. Shaped like a small reed organ, the sound source is a metal strip. When playing, the hammer connected to the keyboard strikes a series of adjusted steel bars. A loudspeaker is attached under each steel bar to amplify the volume and make the timbre clear and pure. Use a pedal-controlled damper to control the length of sound.

Muqin:

A kind of percussion instrument, which is called xylophone because the keys used are made of sawdust. Put the wooden key on the speaker and beat it with a stick to make a melody. Muqin is generally a high-pitched xylophone with narrow keys, high range and crisp timbre. Its basic structure is to arrange several sound bars of different lengths in two rows, similar to a piano keyboard.

In short, the basic difference is that one sound source is a metal strip and the other is sawdust.
