The present invention provides a wind instrument toy having a plurality of melody pipes played by air fed from a blower. A plurality of valves open and close vent portions of the melody pipes. A plurality of vent pipes connect to the corresponding vent portions of the melody pipes and have vertically movable floats therein which float on the air in accordance with music played.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention solves this problem by providing a wind instrument toy including blower means; a plurality of melody pipes different in the music scale, the melody pipes being played by air fed from the blower means; opening/closing means for opening and closing vent portions of the melody pipes; operating means for causing the opening/closing means to perform the opening and closing operations; a plurality of vent pipes for allowing air discharged from the melody pipes to flow upward; and vertically movable floats contained in the vent pipes, the floats capable of floating by the pressure of air passing through the vent pipes.
When the wind instrument toy of the present invention is played, the air discharged from each melody pipe flows into the corresponding vent pipe, and the float contained therein floats by the pressure of the air.
Therefore, the floats provide an impression as if they were floating in accordance with the melody from the melody pipes.
The above-mentioned and other features of the present invention will now become apparent from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
