The musical rocking chair has a body support provided with a seat, a pair of sidewalls and a back projecting upwardly from the seat. The sidewalls of the base are spaced apart to provide with the seat a cavity within the body support. The sidewalls have ground engaging surfaces to permit the body support to rock back and forth when manipulated by a person occupying the seat. A concertina musical instrument is located within the cavity and includes a pair of keyboard operated music boxes and a bellows system for supplying air to the music boxes when the body support is rocked forwards and backwards. A movable bellows actuating plate is engageable with the ground. The actuating plate has one end pivotally carried by the sidewalls, with the other end being provided with one or more rollers so that when the chair is rocked forwards and backwards, the bellows actuating plate also moves resulting in the bellows being contracted or expanded respectively to thereby direct air to the music boxes to produce musical tones under the control of the keys operated by the person occupying the seat.
