• (a) an elongated body having a cylindrical wall structure and a hollow interior extending along the length of said body surrounded by the wall structure, said hollow interior extending between a proximal end and a distal end oppositely disposed to one another along the length of said body,
• (b) said body comprising a head portion and a foot portion disposed adjacent to said proximal end and said distal end, respectively and a main body portion secured in interconnecting relation between said head and foot portions,
• (c) a mouth piece and a blow hole formed in said head portion in substantially adjacent, spaced relation to said proximal end and structured for fluid communication with said hollow interior,
• (d) a key assembly movably mounted on an exterior of said body and cooperatively positioned in removable covering relation to an aperture assembly integrally formed in said body, whereby said key assembly is manipulated by fingers of a player to regulate exiting of air from the body through said aperature assembly,
• (e) a crown assembly removably secured to said head portion adjacent said proximal end and including an illumination means for directing light into said wall structure of said body at said head portion,
• (f) said wall structure of said body including said head portion, main body portion and said foot portion formed of a light transmitting material, whereby said body appears illuminated upon activation of said illumination means.
