ABSTRACT:
A musical instrument of the flute type having a body with the conventional elongated configuration and a hollow interior extending along the length of the body wherein the body is formed of a main body portion, foot portion and head portion, which, depending upon the embodiment of the subject invention, may be permanently secured to one another or removable from another and further wherein the material from which the body, including each of the aforementioned portions is formed is a light transmitting material. An illumination means is mounted in an applicable location such as on a crown portion affixed to a proximal end of the body substantially adjacent the mouth piece but spaced therefrom wherein activation of the illumination means directs one or more beams of light into the wall structure of the body and wherein the light is "transmitted" through each of the succeeding head, body and foot portions due to the abutting positioning of the wall segments of these portions to one another and the introduction of light to the head portion.
