Moorman Park in Quincy features a xylophone at a playground on the north side of the park. The instrument is a big draw for children who love to hit the keys and hear its chime-like sounds.
On Friday afternoon, Herald-Whig Photographer Steve Bohnstedt captured scenes from some of the tiny musicians, including Marhsll Mayfield, 4, of Quincy.
