A lone figure at a party reflects that the rest of the revelers don’t know that “xylophones” with metal bars are actually glockenspiels.
No, they are called metallophones, glockenspiel is just one of them. Other common metallophones are the tubular bells and the vibraphone

The vibraphone wants a word. Lionel Hampton is spinning in his grave.
As far as I understand, a vibraphone is basically a glockenspiel with resonators
A xylophone has wooden bars.
A marimba is a xylophone with resonator tubes.
A glockenspiel is a xylophone with metal bars.
A metal marimba is a marimba with metal bars (or a glockenspiel with resonator tubes).
A vibraphone is a metal marimba with a motor spinning a disc inside the resonators which can create a vibrato and it has a damper (sustain pedal).
God damm xylophobes.
As opposed to a xylophone made of dicks, which is a cockenspiel.
Glockenspiels are usually smaller than xylophones.
