xy·lo·phone
[zahy-luh-fohn]
a musical instrument consisting of a graduated series of wooden bars, usually sounded by striking with small wooden hammers. The history of the xylophone is vague, hailing from Africa and/or Asia.
.
The xylophone is also one of the musical instruments used in a child’s early development. Walk in any children’s toy store and in the baby section, you will see a variety of xylophones for children two and under.

Xylophone – A great instrument, highly underrated, and totally cool! When I was in fifth grade, I was selected to play the xylophone for the Christmas Concert. I had a blast and realized then that music was something that I always wanted in my life.
.
I seriously looked through the X part of the dictionary for a totally, off the wall uber cool word, but they were all like Xenophon and Xenon and all that garb and I didn’t want to talk about something I knew nothing about. I then went down a list of emotions. Maybe I could use a word with “X” in it. Nope. I thought that would be cheating, so here we are.
.
I really don’t know much about Xylophones either. They are, however, a musical instrument. And that gets a smile going on my face.

.Do you know any really cool “X” words?

xylophone for my grandson’s second birthday. Big hit – pieces unlock and reconnect in whatever order he wants, sticks to the tub wall, easy to play. Almost bought one for myself.
