In this video, I explore the strange toy that is the Magical Musical Thing (Mattel 1979). I speak to Franklin Eventoff, the toy’s inventor, and learn about the other instruments he created as well. I also learn the secret to tuning these darn things.

The Magical Musical Thing was produced by Mattel, and invented by Franklin Eventoff, inventor of the Force-Sensing Resistor. Franklin now runs a company called Sensitronics that produces sensors. The oscillator contained within the MMT is based on a 4049 CMOS hex inverter chip.
