Uncommon Instruments A poster of Barnum & Bailey's "Troupe of Very Remarkable Trained Pigs" Listen to: Lou Chiha performing a medley of "In My Heart, On My Mind All Day Long" and "I Wonder if You Still Care For Me," from 1921 Wav Format (9.6 MB) Help With Audio Credits Percussion Instruments As you can see from the picture, the xylophone is played with a padded mallet (which looks like a hammer). In 1898, Barnum and Bailey's circus pigs were trained to play this instrument, among other feats. But don't be fooled by this humorous depiction. Playing the xylophone well requires great precision to hit just the right bar at the right time, which produces a musical tone. The xylophone is a percussion instrument (one that is played either by striking, shaking or scraping it) that likely originated in Southeast Asia or Oceania. It's one of the central instruments of the music of Africa, possibly being brought to that continent through trade or people migrating from other places. Slaves from Africa brought the xylophone with them when they were taken to Latin America, and from there it eventually made its way to the United States. Today's xylophone has bars arranged in two rows, sort of like the keys of a piano, and rests on a stand. Listen to some xylophone music from 1921. page 1 of 3 Home See, Hear and Sing

Definite Pitch Instruments : Indefinite Pitch Instruments : Other Sections : History The first type of percussion instrument was simply anything hit together to produce sound. Drums evolved from this and are known to have existed from around 6000 BC. They were used by all major civilizations throughout the world. Percussion instruments have strong ceremonial, sacred, or symbolic associations almost everywhere. Certain drums symbolize and protect tribal royalty in much of Africa. They were also used to transmit messages over long distances. They also played a major role in medieval and Renaissance Europe. The snare drum and its relatives were used in the infantry to send coded instructions to the soldiers. The development the individual instruments is discussed in its section. Description A percussion instrument is defined as instruments made of sonorous material. A vibration produces sounds of definite or indefinite pitch when shaken or struck. The pitch is determined in many different ways. It is done through the tautness of the stretched material for indefinite pitch instruments. The pitch is determined by the size of the objects in definite pitch instruments. Notes are produced by striking the instrument in certain places.

Percussion Instruments from Around the World Percussion instruments have been around for thousands of years in every culture in the world. They have been used in many different ways, such as communicating with neighboring communities, accompanying dance, and facilitating ceremonies and rituals. In the United States, enslaved African Americans used "juba," a style of body percussion that was used to communicate emotions and ideas without speaking or even having an instrument to play. There are many different percussion instruments. "Percussion" comes from the Latin word percutere, which in English means, "to strike." Not all instruments classified as percussion actually make their sounds by being struck. Some are shaken, clapped together, or even scraped (guiro). Some percussion instruments are pitched, and others are non-pitched. What most of them have in common, though, is performing a rhythmic function in music. Pitched Percussion Some percussion instruments can play different pitches. Timpani

Uncommon Instruments Signor Lou Chiha plays the marimba Listen to: Imperial Marimba Band performing "The Stars and Stripes Forever March," in 1918 Wav Format (8.5 MB) Help With Audio Credits Percussion Instruments The marimba is another percussion instrument that is played with a rubber mallet. Marimba is the African name for xylophone. It resembles that instrument in shape, but it's bigger and has a wider range of notes. Many popular songs in the early 1900s were given a marimba "twist," such as this recording of the "Stars and Stripes Forever March." The fact that marimba songs were well liked by Americans shows the increased exposure the public had to foreign styles of music. page 2 of 3 Home See, Hear and Sing Uncommon Instruments Percussion Page 2 Site Map IMAGE CREDIT: 'Signor Lou Chiha "Fiscoe", back cover of Edison Amberola Monthly.'
