Welcome to ResonatorBells.com!

Resonator bells go by many other names – they can be called metallophones or, more colloquially, xylophones (though some would argue that xylophones strictly fall UNDER the category of resonator bells, or that xylophones are quite different from resonator bells). They may have other more complex names, but at the end of the day, what resonator bells really are are musical instruments that are relegated to the percussion family. It is interesting to note that out of all the instruments in the percussion family, the ones that fall under the category of resonator bells are considered to be complex mainly because resonator bells aren't necessarily exclusively meant to produce a beat or punctuation to musical scores. That is to say, resonator bells are also designed in such a way that they can also be used to produce melodies. This modification of the concept of percussion can make it easier or more difficult to learn how to play resonator bells, depending on the kind of musician that you happen to be.

Of course, it's hardly enough to simply know that any instrument that is made up of tuned metal, plastic or wooden (but this is fairly rare) bars that are struck with a mallet or with two mallets to make sounds is a resonator bell. One should understand that for many young people, a simplified variety of resonator bells is their introduction to playing an instrument. Resonator bells (or, as we simply know them as we're growing up, xylophones), often introduce us to the concept of varying tones emitted by bars that look exactly the same. While most people move on to play other instruments, others find themselves interested in playing resonator bells for the rest of their lives. This is why this domain, ResonatorBells.Com is dedicated to those who choose to excel and practice playing different types of resonator bells as well as those who are interested in learning more about resonator bells.

In ResonatorBells.Com, you will find information on basic types of resonator bells, better known as xylophones. You will also be able to learn the difference between kids xylophones (often consisting of only one row of bars that can be struck with mallets) and concert xylophones (often consisting of two or more rows of bars that can be struck with mallets, often emulating the form of a piano). You will learn more about the different xylophone mallets that you need in order to optimize the sound that you get from resonator bells – this is because you can't expect to strike resonator bells with any old thing and produce the great sound it's meant to make. And if that's not enough for you, we will also be featuring a section on xylophone books, which will feature all sorts of topics that are related to resonator bells. This may include everything from the history and development of this instrument to the different incarnations of the resonator bells that you can find all over the world (or even primers/music books that teach you how to play xylophones, and play them well for professional purposes). In short, ResonatorBells.Com pretty much provides you with as much information that it can give you on xylophones.
