A marimba is a musical instrument that looks like a xylophone. It was first made in southern Mexico. The material to make them can be either metal or wood, and rosewood is the best wood to create this instrument with.

Commercial Western marimba bars, like xylophone keys, are usually made of rosewood, but bars can also be made of padouk or various synthetic materials.
