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, it’s the perfect musical gizmo - once you pick it up, you won’t 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, it’s so simple to play that anyone can have a go - perfect for beginners!
Portable & battery-powered
The Stylophone didn’t earn the nickname ‘pocket synthesizer’ for nothing. At less than 12cm wide, it’ll 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 it’s 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.

Must have sold a hundred of them myself, probably more. And thinking back, we never had one returned. But I've never had one for my own use until today - been - and do you know what, it's great fun!
You don't need to read music to play one - there are a couple of tunes in the manual that are spelled out simply in a play-by-numbers fashion. Very easy to pick up, and a great morale booster.
But if you wanted to, you could learn to read and perform sheet music on one of these.
You just have to work out which note is which on the Stylophone - and since it is laid out like a mini piano, this is easy to do - much easier than (say) a recorder, which is another good first instrument.
A simple piano book borrowed from a library would get you started, then you could transcribe sheet music to the Stylophone numbering system - an educational plus for kids there.
Failing that, there is a Stylophone Music page at Tumblr dot com, and other Stylophone tunes all over the web.
It does not have a large range of notes - one and a half octaves, compared with the two octaves of a recorder.
But within that limitation, it does what it says on the tin! The headphone socket is a blessing for others who may not share the performers joy in music, and there is a lead provided that can connect it to recording hardware (MP3 player, eg) or amplification (adding reverb is a good tip).
Recommended for kids of all ages - 6 to 96 seems about right. ;)
They didn’t have the social media to find different songs to try and play! Top stuff
You must connect it to a powered speaker otherwise use earphones because the built in speaker is awful.
plastic is a bit cheap but it's still solid.
overall very good
