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

Blown bottles generate sound by utilizing a vibrating column of air, a phenomenon known as Helmholtz resonance. The bottles may be tuned by adding various amounts of water or sand to the vessel.
