Flexatone

So, imagine you have a special musical instrument called a flexatone. It is like a small metal rod that you can hold in your hand.

The flexatone has two parts that make sound. The first part is a long metal strip called the blade. It is curved like a rainbow. When you hold the flexatone, the blade moves up and down.

The second part is a small metal ball. It is connected to the blade and can move back and forth.

To play the flexatone, you hold it with one hand and use the other hand to move the metal ball. When you move the ball, it makes the blade vibrate.

The vibrations of the blade make a very unique and strange sound. It is not like any other musical instrument you have heard before. It can sound like a spooky ghost or a funny cartoon noise.

You can change the sound of the flexatone by moving the metal ball faster or slower. And if you press the blade harder or softer, it can also change the sound.

Musicians like to use the flexatone in songs and sound effects for movies or shows. It adds a special touch and makes the music or sound more interesting and fun.

So, in a nutshell, the flexatone is a small metal instrument that makes a weird and cool sound when you move a metal ball on a curved metal strip.
