Claim 10:
11. A sound producing beverage container comprising:
a container top including an opening initially sealed with a closure;
a container bottom;
a container wall extending between the container top and the container bottom;
a container cavity between the container top and the container bottom; and
a reed assembly mounted to the container top, the reed assembly comprising:
a substantially flat reed including opposing leading and trailing reed edges extending a length of the reed;
opposing first and second reed face surfaces extending between the leading and trailing reed edges; and

a bridge disposed adjacent the reed, the bridge including opposing leading and trailing bridge edges corresponding with the leading and trailing reed edges and a bulge in the bridge along the leading edge of the bridge, the bulge extending away from the reed wherein a portion of the leading edge of the reed is disposed between the bridge bulge and the container top;

wherein a pressurized gas escaping the container cavity and moving along the container top toward the leading edge of the bridge is directed toward the leading edge of the reed and across the reed leading edge resulting in the reed vibrating, the vibration generating a harmonic frequency that outputs a harmonic sound.
