Our favorite event in Cookie Jam, Buzzwords, is back with a new set of quizzes. So, it’s a perfect time to learn something interesting and get rewards for it. The topics of the questions are varied – sometimes they are about food, other times about the environment. However, this week, developers are focused on music-themed crosswords like “people who sing or play instruments” or “European city of music”. So, let’s deep dive into another musical inquiry and solve “flat instrument with wooden bars and mallet”.
“Flat instrument with wooden bars and mallet” in Cookie Jam answered
This time Buzzwords test our knowledge of musical instruments (and it’s not the last question about that, be prepared to face “Instrument that you hit to the beat” next). If you are puzzled by “Flat instrument with wooden bars and mallet”, you are in a good place:
- Xylophone.
The answer is not all, though. It’s time to learn some interesting facts straight from Wikipedia to later use this knowledge when least expected. Xylophone is an ancient instrument, part of the percussion family – it’s originated in southeast Asia. However, it gradually spread to Africa around 500 AD. Over the centuries, this instrument has reached more regions of the world, including Europe. However, it was not until 19th century, when European orchestral xylophone was used in Danse Macabre (a symphonic poem written by Camille Saint-Saens).
What is also interesting is that the xylophone in different regions of the world takes different forms. However, the most well-known construction involves wooden (or synthetic) bars stacked together.
