smart: The full size ones are thousands of dollars I was wondering if there was a mini one for a couple hundred thanks.DOes anyone know where I could buy like a mini xylophone or marimba?Yes. What you're looking for a student or educational model. I bought a Kaman CB700 (used) for $85. The stand that came with it alone is worth $85! It also includes a nice Remo practice pad and a nice soft-sided case. You can find the CB line here: http://www.cbpercussion.com/ed_kits.cfm and it wouldn't hurt to check these out too: http://www.instrumentsmusicnmore.com/Xyl鈥?/a> After that, I'd just do a search on eBay because I saw a number of used instruments there that might work for you. Just make sure that the xylophone you get is chromatic and not diatonic. Good luck!
