Slang term for
xylophone, a tuned melodic
percussion instrument, made of either wood,
kelon, or a similar resonant material. Often having a musical range of at least two octaves, xylophones have a very articulate and characteristic sound. They are a very important instrument in today's bands and orchestras.
OK percussion,
sort out the parts, and make sure you remember there is a
xylophone solo during this piece.
or
Did you guys hear that wicked xylophone solo in
Sabre Dance?
