Yes, I was sure it would be xylophone. Spotted two xylophone posts in my feed this morning and was surprised neither was you. The xun is nice and gentle on the ears (unlike yesterday!)
LOL you had me on this one. I thought it would be an Xylophone too!

Not as xylophone. Had no idea there was another instrument starting with X.

It makes a good sound and looks rather like an ocarina. Sue
