beautiful melody with a Xylophone.
Here are the materials you need

Here is a video of me making the Xylophone
When I tested out the Xylophone, it made many pitch, low pitch, high pitch and medium pitch.
The paper Xylophone sounded good as well and also it made good pitches.
Making a Xylophone with papers and glasses were fun to make. While I was making the glass xylophone, I learnt that the more the glass aren't filled with water, the more the pitch is higher and when the glass is filled with more water, it creates a low pitch
