ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a violin musical toy and in particular to one having string-simulating plates similar to strings of a violin, a control circuit, an engaging member, two copper plates, several keys, a selecting switch, a musical switch and a bow. By drawing the bow on the string plates of the engaging member, like playing a violin, the engaging member will be forced to swing to the left and right side and two protuberances on two ends side of the engaging member will make the two copper plates touch each other continuously which triggers the control circuit to output preset music if the function selecting switch is placed at its, `AUTO` position. By switching the selecting switch to `MANUAL` position, the player may press any one of the keys to output a single tone or any two of the keys at the same time and the violin will output a chromatic scale.
