A musical instrument is disclosed in which light beams striking a detector produce various tones and the loudness of the sounds produced is dependent upon the intensity of the light beam which can be changed by interrupting the beam or reflecting the light backwards to a detector situated next to the light source. A special amplifier circuit is provided which responds to both the amount of light beam interruption as well as the rapidity of interruption. The invention can be variously embodied in woodwind, string and percussion instruments and can also be used on a stage and controlled by moving dancers or musicians.
