A toy for generating tone sequences includes a sound-generating circuitry having multiple inputs, the activation of a particular input corresponding to a particular tone. The inputs are connected to a motion sensor whereby a particular motion of the toy is converted into a corresponding sound. The motion sensor may be, for example, a multiple position pendulum switch. Repeated motion of the toy in a plurality of directions allows a tone sequence to be generated. The circuity may include a storage system to allow tone sequences to be retained for later playback.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. A tone-generating apparatus, comprising a housing; tone-generating means mounted to the housing for electronically generating a plurality of different tones or tone sequences, each tone or tone sequence associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of inputs; and motion sensing means comprising an inverted electrical pendulum switch responsive to motion of said housing in a plurality of directions coupled to said plurality of inputs whereby a different tone or tone sequence is generated in response to motion of the housing in one of said plurality of directions coupled to said plurality of inputs whereby a different tone or tone sequence is generated in response to motion of the housing in one of said plurality of directions.
