A music playing device for symphonic compositions allows a user to selective locate one or more musical instrument playing pieces within an orchestral pit and to listen to the series of notes of those instruments placed into the pit. The additive and subtractive benefits of musical instruments are thus appreciated. The device comprises a main base and individual, preferably, three dimensional musical instruments as playing pieces. Multiple symphonic musical compositions are available to be played with only the notes of those instruments being heard if and when placed into the pit area.
