Xylophone
"A percussion instrument consisting of a series of wooden
bars graduated in length so as to sound the notes of the
scale when struck with small wooden hammers.".......
Probably the most famous player of this instrument was the
late Lionel Hampton....He jazzed his one up and called it a
"vibraphone"......Since his "passing" you do not hear the
instrument played anymore, until.......
Has anyone noticed that the xylophone is being used in the
background music of almost 6-10 TV commercials, in some
form or another......The most famous of which is for a drug
to stop bladder incontinence....
I wonder if the younger generation knows what musical
instrument is making the sound (or noise)?......Pumps
