Abstract
A bellows type toy tambourine with a bellows containing a space enclosed by two ring members. One of these ring members has a plurality of slots along its circumference. Each of these slots contains two round metal plates for giving metal collision sound by shaking while it is played as a tambourine. One of the ring members has a plurality of flues. Each of these flues is incorporated with a tongue so that different tunes can be given when the bellows is expanded or contracted to permit air to pass through the flues; i.e., when it is used as an accordion. It is a novel structure of toy instrument and a combination of toy drum, tambourine and accordion.
