Brooke's Instrument Blog

The instrument I was thinking about creating was an xylophone. I chose this instrument becuase after watching a video I found that it is probably one of the easiest instrument to learn how to play in a short amount of time. The xylophone is played by playing the nots on the xylophone with mallets. You produce sound on the instrument when the metal or wooden bars vibrate and push and pull the air particles around them.You change the sound of the xylophone by hitting the metal bars at different times and hard or lighter. The xylophone has a row of bars that range from different sizes.
