Xylophone
A xylophone is a musical instrument consisting of a series of wooden or metal bars arranged in order of size and pitch. When you strike a bar with mallets, it vibrates and produces sound. The length, material, and tension of each bar determine its pitch, with shorter, thinner, or less tense bars producing higher notes. The instrument is played by striking the bars with mallets, and it is used in various musical settings for melodies and rhythm. Its clear, bright tones make it popular in orchestras, bands, and educational settings.
