ABSTRACT:
A longitudinally extending body is provided with a longitudinally extending slot or opening. A hollow tubular member is secured adjacent one end of the body and is provided with a slot across its end which coincides with the slot in the body. Reed means are secured at one end to the body and extend longitudinally of the slot in the body and the tubular member, with the reed means having a portion extending laterally therefrom adjacent the hollow tubular member for manual vibration of said reed means relative to said body and member. The other end of the hollow tubular member is open to be positioned adjacent the mouth of the user for providing desired notes and tonal effects when the reed is manually vibrated. Clamp means on the body are movable longitudinally therealong for engagement with the reed at a predetermined or selected position to vary the length of the reed and thereby the pitch of the notes created by the vibration of the reed means.
