A vacuum pump operated musical instrument is herein described which includes a hollow cylindrical body. The body is formed to define at least one aperture in the cylindrical wall thereof. The hollow body is open at one end and closed at the opposite end. A piston is slidably mounted within the cylindrical body for reciprocation past the aperture. As the piston is moved past the aperture, in a direction from the closed end to the opened end of the hollow body, the piston draws a vacuum and then suddenly communicates that vacuum to the ambient through the aperture. Air rushing in from the ambient into the vacuum space is acted upon the size and configuration of the aperture to form an audible sound. A second piston arrangement may be disposed between the aperture and the closed end of the hollow body. The second piston arrangement may be manually positioned to vary the volume of the vacuum retaining space. The adjustment of the volume of the last mentioned space is operable to controllably vary the pitch of the sound caused by air rushing from ambient into that space. Alternatively, a sleeve member may be coaxially and slidably mounted over the open end of the tubular shaped body so as to be adjustable with respect to the aperture. Axial movement of this sleeve member is operable to controllably vary the pitch of the sound in response to the position of the sleeve member. A one way valve is mounted within the first piston as a compression relief mechanism when the first piston is moved toward the closed end of the tubular body, before commencing the vacuum stroke. If it is found that the vacuum formed between the two pistons is too great when both pistons are moved in opposite directions at the same time, the compression relief valve may be opened manually by a control mechanism associated with the first piston arrangement to dissipate some of the vacuum.
