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!
