Retro Gadget | The Stylophone
Sytlophone – 70′s throwback
Ask your mum and dad about the stylophone (unless of course you remember this musical instrument!) – calculators were the size of small cars and an auto pop-up toaster was considered hi-tech. This dismal era also gave birth to an iconic musical instrument – the Stylophone! And now, it’s back. After nearly 40 years in the closet, the Stylophone pocket synthesiser made popular by the likes of Rolf Harris and David Bowie (he used it in timeless classic Space Oddity) is back.
You tap the electronic keys with the integral stylus to make funky noises – now with additional Classic, Synth and Bass sounds, – and maybe you can produce some musical hits using this retro kit as the likes of Kraftwerk, Erasure, Orbital, Marilyn Manson, They Might Be Giants, and White Stripes have done in the past. You can play solo, or plug in your iPod/MP3 player and play along to your favourite tunes, and even add some vibrato enhancement to really annoy anyone foolish enough to be listening to you. It may have been invented in 1967, but 40 years on this re-invention is bound to be another hit.
