That is a really touching story. I wish that I was that good at doing my daughter's hair. My wife always gets upset because I just brush it straight down without putting it up or anything. I think that is so great that that cosmetology department helped you out. http://www.schoolsofcosmetology.com/THG_Cosm.html
My younger daughter had a cat that was a "snow cat" when we lived back in CNY. He'd sit in the snow and watch me shovel. Our other cats would have loved it here in SW FL.
And as the video page says, it's a marimba, xylophone, and glockenspiel. A marimba is quite a bit larger with big wooden keys that make a deeper and more "tropical" sound. While a xylophone has smaller fiberglass keys that make a sharper sound a bit like glass bottles.
The vibraphone is the only one in the family left out, being in-between those two in size, having metal keys and a sustain pedal for long dream-like notes.
I *highly* recommend the films of Tarsem Singh ("The Cell", "The Fall") as he has used more than one of these locations as backdrops. What the stories may lack, his visual sense more than makes up for.

In case that is too obtuse: Methinks there is much more to the story, but, of course, it shall never be known.
