Abstract
A toy which simulates playing a toy stringed instrument is provided. The toy stringed instrument is attached to a body of the toy and a disc couples the body to the toy stringed instrument. A hand on the body is secured to the disc which rotates in response to activation of a motor housed in the body. Thus, rotation of the disc causes corresponding rotation of the hand. A controller is configured to produce music and to activate the motor in conjunction with the music.
