ABSTRACT:
A foot operated electronic musical instrument with a plurality of foot actuated pedals, which correspond to the notes produced by a bass guitar. Depressing a particular pedal causes an electronic tone generator to produce a corresponding note. Pedals are generally provided only for natural notes, with the exception of A# and D#. In order to obtain the full chromatic scale, a flat switch is included. When engaged by the foot this switch has the effect of lowering the value of the note by one half step, hence adding a flat, or a sharp with respect to the next lower note.
