How to Construct a Xylophone A xylophone is a musical instrument that consists of keys that are struck by a musician using mallets. You can use wood or electrical metal tubing to make your own xylophone at home. If you measure the xylophone's materials and put it together carefully, a homemade xylophone can work just as well as store-bought options. Once you pair your xylophone with a set of wooden mallets, your xylophone will be complete and ready to use in a short period! | Ndito uforo akwa ib
