👉 A "xylopolist" is a musical term that refers to an instrument that uses various types of wooden planks called xylophones. These instruments are often used in orchestral and chamber music performances, as well as for solo performances by musicians with a background in woodwind or brass instruments. In classical music, xylophones are often referred to as "saxophones" (plural "saxophones"), which refers to the instrument itself rather than the sound it produces.
