X is for … Xylophone Apr28 by Jessie A child’s xylophone has got to be the most musically abused instrument around. So why do they make xylophones for children so very high pitched? Share this post!

That’s a good question.
Because the pitch is so high, it has a ‘tinny’ quality which doesn’t sound very pleasant and so it does not contribute towards enhancing a child’s musical ear.

Nope, or the moms either. The girls got to play a real xylophone at the library this week- what a world of difference!
