Two excellent instruments in the computer lab: xylophone and autoharp (referred to by its manufacturer as a “chromaharp”)
Here is a view of the mallots (hammers?). Wrapped in yarn?!
And here is the label. It is made in France.
The autoharps is very cool too. From the outside, it looks like a I-don’t-know-what.
From the inside, it starts to look interesting….,
And when it is out of the case, it is best.
The documentation has instructions on how to tune the instrument, as well as a sampling of songs to learn and play.
