An apparatus includes a support member, a moveable member supported by the support
member, a user support mechanically associated with the moveable member, and a
sound producing mechanism that produces sound as a result of movement of the moveable
member between a first position and a second position caused by the user's application
of force to the urge the moveable member between the first position and second
position. The applications include a play apparatus, wherein the user interacts
with the moveable member with the result that the moveable member changes position
and a selected sound is thereby produced.
