Xylophone playing.
Synco is a young man, personable, and he plays the xylophone, or some kind of a marimba. Synco may learn that showmanship is helpful to a single musical act. He goes about his playing studiously, and plays extremely well when compared with those who have hammered an xylophone from habit or direction. Synco seems to be a musician at his instrument, and through that impresses, but he could put in a couple of faster and more tricky numbers, interject ginger into his work, look the audience over once in a while, and make himself more vaudeville than lyceum.
