A percussion musical instrument of the xylophone type having a plurality of aluminum alloy bars and played by striking the bars with mallets. No tubular resonators are required although they may be used. A magnetic pickup coil, with a permanent magnet core, is positioned under one of the ends of each bar and coupled to an amplifier and sonic transducer to reproduce musical notes. By alternately reversing the permanent magnet poles and connecting the pickup coils in pairs, noise, hum, and unwanted magnetic feedback is avoided.
