Abstract
An auto-play musical instrument, which can give a tone-up state of a music piece intended by a player at his or her intended timing is disclosed. When a rotational speed detector (60) detects that a dial (10) is rotated at a speed higher than a predetermined speed, a director (63) directs a pattern selector (65) to select a soft fill-in pattern or a loud fill-in pattern in place of increment/decrement of an intonation value by a value changer (64). An auto-play operation is made based on the selected pattern, thereby sharply changing the tone-up level of play tones.
