Xylophone
A melodic percussion instrument with a series of wooden bars of increasing length laid out in two rows, which are struck with mallets to produce the notes of the chromatic scale. Kate Bush has apparently never used a xylophone in one of her songs -- though xylophone-like sounds may have been incorporated in samples on her Fairlight CMI -- but we needed this entry to fill out the section.
