A stringed musical toy that allows an individual to play notes on the various strings and alter their pitch by changing the configuration of the string bar end. The stringed musical toy has a generally tapered design, resulting in one wide end and one narrow end. A quartet of strings is located within the housing, and can be plucked through a circular opening found on the front panel. The stringed musical toy also has an acoustic pickup, allowing an individual to connect the stringed musical toy to an amplifier, signal processing unit, recorder, or other similar device.
