A cast plastic toy having a unitary U-shaped body including the side and top walls of the sound box, a bridge, a neck, apertures in pegboard at one end of the neck, strengthening ribs, and a barrier at the juncture of the neck and sound box. A paperboard bottom wall completes the sound box, and pegs are inserted through the apertures in the pegboard.

Apertures are formed in the sound box, and simulated manual control buttons are located on the upper surface of the sound box.
