Xylophone (by: Steve Birkmire)
Musical Instrument Blog #1
A
Xylophone is played by tapping one of the several bars that are arranged by
size (longer to shorter) that create different pitches of sound using a
plastic, wooden or rubber mallet; the sounds that are made when tapping the
bars are kind of similar to the sound that a bell makes when it is rung
(depending on the bell). The sound that the bar makes when you tap on it
depends on the size (length) of the bar. The longer the bar is, the lower the
noise it makes, and the smaller the bar is, the higher the noise it makes. Jazz
bands often used the Xylophone in the 1920’s and 1930’s.

Guitar:
As the strings are "plucked" it makes a sound. Also the person has to hold the strings that are located in front of the guitar as he/she plucks the strings at the end. By holding the strings at the front of the guitar, this produces different sound. Since the guitar has a lot of strings, they all have different sound to it. To change a note, the person has to move to the desired string at the front of the guitar and at the end. This change the note and the sound.
