A variation on the typewriter. The xylophone is rather more savage in that it requires four people to hold down the victim in a splayed and prone star, and as many people as fancied it are allowed to savagely beat them with maracas, kettle drum sticks, or guiros. Sometimes for as long as ten minutes.

The practice stops when somebody passes out, wets themselves, develops kidney damage and spends the following weeks pissing blood in hospital.
