Product Description

The original pocket synthesizer

Iconic gadgets don't come along every day. The Stylophone is a household name in the music world, known for its super-fun stylus design, compact design, and unique retro sound. Used by everyone from David Bowie to The White Stripes, its the perfect musical gizmo - once you pick it up, you wont want to put it back down

Easy to play

The Stylophone is played by tapping and sliding the connected stylus along the touch-sensitive metal surface. Each segment on the surface plays a different note, the same as different keys on a piano. But unlike the piano, its so simple to play that anyone can have a go - perfect for beginners!

Portable & battery-powered

The Stylophone didnt earn the nickname pocket synthesizer for nothing. At less than 12cm wide, itll fit right in your coat pocket, rucksack, or handbag. Better still, it runs on 3 x AA batteries, and features a built-in speaker and headphone socket - so you can play it everywhere you go.

Original analog sound

The latest Stylophone features the same quirky vintage analog sound as the original, first released in the 1960s. You can switch between 3 sound modes, and make the sound wobble with the vibrato switch - great for all kinds of classic synth and bass sounds.

Learn your favourite songs

You can tune the Stylophone using the tuning wheel on the back. Once its in tune, you can easily play along with your favourite songs.

In July 1969, David Bowie created Space Oddity using the Stylophone, realising the potential of its unusual voice. Its space-age, buzzy sound suited the song perfectly.

It's a cool little instrument fun to mess with for a bit when you get it... but then... it sits... it gets sad... it wants so badly to be played but you can only listen to so much of its electrical fire midi sound before all sound melds together and you lose your sanity

    I like it a lot! If you are a musician, this is very fun to mess around with. The sound options are obviously quite limited due to the price, but you cant go wrong with the stylophone!

    Purchased for my 11-year-old, but he found it difficult to tune without any guidance. A manual or notes for songs would have been helpful. Despite the challenges, he recommends it as the learning experience was valuable in figuring things out on his own.

    Je ne m'attendais ps grand'chose que ce petit synthtiseur. Mais m'appuyant sur des vidos Youtube, je m'attendais un petit peu plus de qualit. En effet, dans mon cas, je dois vraiment appuyer fortement sur le pav pour que le son mis par le haut-parleur soit 'continu'. Sinon, on dirait que le contact est mauvais, et/ou que le son manque de tonus, comment dire, on dirait un vieux jouet qui a un peu perdu de son souffle. Ou alors juste le haut-parleur qui 'griche' un peu. Peut-tre ce serait mieux avec des couteurs ou en branchant sur un ampli? Pas encore pu essayer. Mais bon, ?a reste un petit bidule pas cher, c'est un peu normal si ?a somme comme un jouet, j'imagine.

    This is the new 'incarnation' of the highly popular pocket organ which sold bucket-loads during the sixties and seventies. Produced by the original companyresurrected by the former inventor's sonit's a faithful reproduction. There are some obvious changes; the new model has a line input for your MP3 player (so you can play along to your favorite songs) and can be tuned to accommodate other instruments, but otherwise it looks and acts very much like its predecessor.

    One thing I noticed straight away was that it doesn't feel quite as solid as an original Stylophone, but I imagine this is simply because they're using a different plastic to build it these days. It certainly doesn't feel like it's fragile or going to break though, that's definitely not what I'm saying.

    It's predictably cheesy in sonic terms but that's what a Stylophone does, so I'm not complaining. However I do know (from experimenting with the original model decades ago) that if you put it through some serious gear it can sound huge. I remember feeding one into an old spring reverb unit and being wowed by the resulting sound. :-)

    Keep it with you as you travel for those moments of musical inspiration or just to have a laugh with your friends as you sing karaoke. Either way this riff on a classic musical toy never fails to please and the price is unbeatable. Highly recommended.
