[[File:Marimba One 4000 Series.jpg|thumb|The Marimba One 4000 Series.]]The marimba is a struck idiophone. It has long been used in sub-Saharan Africa and southeast Asia, often in an equiheptatonic or equipentatonic tuning. In more recent times, the marimba has appeared in many genres of Western music, such as Jazz, Mexican/Latin, New Classical music, drumcore/marching bands, and percussion ensemble. Most Western marimbas have a range of 4.3, 4.5, or 5 octaves. | [[File:Marimba One 4000 Series.jpg|thumb|The Marimba One 4000 Series.]]The marimba is a struck idiophone.
