Looking over the xylophone, the bass drum with its late style bass drum striking action can be seen. In this model, the center drum mallet is directly attached to the movable part of the driving pneumatic, rather than the older style action that used an intermediary swivel arrangement to hold the mallet, with the motor pneumatic located underneath the swivel mechanism. Note the large wooden boots for the bass section Fagott (Bassoon) reed pipes, with their black painted conical resonators reaching upward.
