The other end of the rod is attached to a moulded fluorescent orange plastic bracket which holds a metal drum and is attached to 2 wide, yellow plastic wheels (one on each side). The letters 'f p' and the name 'FISHER PRICE' form part of the moulded bracket. The words 'FISHER PRICE TOYS', a treble clef and a line of music are moulded onto the outer sides of both wheels. The wheels are attached to the drum and bracket by an orange axle. The metal drum has a double row of holes at each side, it is painted with brightly coloured images of 'a girl, dog, cow, cockerel, bear, boy, horse'. The drum contains musical chimes and as the toy is pushed along these will play.
