Notes produced by blowing over bottles

A blown bottle is a musical instrument that produces sound when the musician blows air over the bottle opening.[1][2]

Blown bottles generate sound by utilizing a vibrating column of air.[3] The bottles may be tuned by adding water or sand to the vessel.[4]

Blown bottles, like the musical jug, are sometimes used by performers of folk music.[5] The blown bottle is assigned to note number 76 (or 77, for numbering starting with 1) in the General MIDI specification.[6]
