Sound is produced by the xylophone when each of the "tabs" are struck. After thus, they vibrate, producing sound. The energy is transferred from the mallet to the "tab" creating sound. The pitch is changed within the "tabs". The pitch pertains to the size of the "tab". The smaller tabs produce sounds higher in pitch in contrast to the larger tabs which produce sounds lower in pitch. I will be using several materials. I will use a wooden mallet, possibly a pen, and I will use copper pipes to make the "tabs". The whole xylophone will be housed on a wooden frame. I will construct the instrument without direction based solely on how it looks via pictures. A question I have is, "Does it matter how I create the wooden frame?"
