Joe stated, in his usual crabby manner, that he misspelled his word - it 
should have been xylol rather than xzylol. Xylol is a synonym for xylene. 
Xylene is a common organic solvent - it is highly toxic and is a major 
component of gasoline. Wouldn't be much good for building an instrument out 
of it.
