			The vibraphone developed in the United States in the 1920s by way of two German instrument designers who were each employed by competing percussion manufacturers. The two names, vibraharp and vibraphone, comes from the trade names that were coined by these two original manufacturers, although they refer to the same instrument<ref>“Beck, John, and John H. Beck, eds. 2007. Encyclopedia of percussion. 2nd ed. New York: Routledge.”</ref>.<br>

			In 1916 Herman Winterhoff, an employee of the Leedy Manufacturing Company, began experiments with an instrument intended to imitate the human voice through use of a motor-produced vibrato effect. In 1922 he had designed an instrument with a motor mounted to the frame that propels two sets of metal discs that resided in the tops of each resonator. By 1924 this instrument was beginning manufacturing and had received the name of vibraphone<ref>“Beck, John, and John H. Beck, eds. 2007. Encyclopedia of percussion. 2nd ed. New York: Routledge.”</ref>.

			The standard width of the bars on a professional model vibraphone are graduated from 2 inches to 1 1/2 inches. Traditionally, bars are made from a tempered aluminum alloy<ref>“Beck, John, and John H. Beck, eds. 2007. Encyclopedia of percussion. 2nd ed. New York: Routledge.”</ref>. There are numerous finishes available for the bars: natural polished aluminum, clear anodized, gold anodized, and brass plate and lacquer<ref>“Beck, John, and John H. Beck, eds. 2007. Encyclopedia of percussion. 2nd ed. New York: Routledge.”</ref>.
