  • Trashionals 12 Round 13 Toss-Ups
    TRASHionals 12 Round 13 Toss-Ups 1. In a 1989 Saturday Night Live skit, Billy Joel played a master of this instrument on an East Berlin game show as the rest of the cast defected to the West. Renaissance era versions of this instrument reflect its Germanic name, but those made since the 17th century generally use metal bars. A trio of them are used in Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. It's also prominently featured in Mozart's The Magic Flute, though most orchestras now use a celesta for those parts. It's sometimes used in jazz but most players prefer the wooden marimba or vibraphone.
