ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Daxophone

Okay kiddo, have you heard of musical instruments like the guitar or piano? The daxophone is a weird and wacky musical instrument that is also played like those instruments, but instead of plucking strings or hitting keys, you create sound by rubbing a stick on a thin wooden board!

The daxophone looks like a little wooden block with two sticks sticking out of it. When you rub one of the sticks against the flat part of the block, it causes a piece of wood that is sticking out to vibrate and make a sound. The piece of wood that vibrates can be different shapes and sizes, which creates different types of sounds.

The person playing the daxophone can also change the sound by moving the stick around, pressing it harder or softer on the board, or even using different materials to rub against the wooden board.

It may sound strange, but some people really like the unique and interesting sounds that the daxophone can create. It's like making music in a whole new way!
