	The xylorimba is a pitched percussion instrument similar to an extended-range [[xylophone]] with a range identical to some 5-octave celestas or 5-octave [[marimbas]], though typically an octave higher than the latter. Despite its name, it is not a combination of a [[xylophone]] and a [[marimba]]; its name has been a source of confusion, as many composers have called for a 'xylorimba', including Alban Berg, Pierre Boulez and Olivier Messiaen, but for parts requiring only a four-octave [[xylophone]](Blades and Holland n.d.). However, Pierre Boulez wrote for two five-octave xylorimbas in Pli selon pli(Blades and Holland n.d.). The xylorimba experienced its greatest popularity in the 1920s and 30s, particularly within vaudeville theatre(Blades and Holland n.d.).

			The xylorimba consists of a series of wooden bars laid out like a piano keyboard "with a compass sufficiently large to embrace the low-sounding bars of the [[marimba]] and the highest-sounding bars of the [[xylophone]]." The lower notes of the xylorimba are described as sounding closer to a xylophone than a marimba, on account of its bars being both thicker and narrower, and due to the different size and shape of its resonators; the size and shape of the bars differs to emphasize different overtones(Blades and Holland n.d.).
