Stylophone: The Original Pocket Electronic Synthesizer

The Stylophone: An Iconic Pocket Synthesizer

In the world of iconic gadgets, the Stylophone stands out as a household name in the music industry. Known for its super-fun stylus design, compact size, and unique retro sound, this miniature synthesizer has been used by renowned artists such as David Bowie and The White Stripes, making it the perfect musical gizmo that once picked up, is hard to put down.

The Stylophone's ease of play is one of its key features. Tapping and sliding the connected stylus along the touch-sensitive metal surface, each segment on the surface plays a different note, similar to the keys on a piano. But unlike the piano, the Stylophone is so simple to play that even beginners can have a go, making it an excellent choice for those just starting their musical journey.

Portable and battery-powered, the Stylophone aptly earned the nickname "pocket synthesizer." Measuring less than 12cm wide, it can easily fit into a coat pocket, rucksack, or handbag, allowing users to take it with them wherever they go. Powered by 3 x AA batteries and featuring a built-in speaker and headphone socket, the Stylophone can be played anywhere, providing the ultimate convenience.

The latest Stylophone model boasts the same quirky vintage analog sound as the original, first released in the 1960s. Users can switch between 3 sound modes and make the sound wobble with the vibrato switch, enabling them to create a wide range of classic synth and bass sounds. The tuning wheel on the back allows for precise tuning, enabling users to easily play along with their favorite songs.

In July 1969, the legendary David Bowie used the Stylophone to create his iconic song "Space Oddity," recognizing the instrument's unique voice and how it perfectly suited the space-age, buzzy sound of the track. This miniature stylus-operated synthesizer is a recreation of the 1967 classic, featuring 3 octaves and an optional vibrato effect.

With its built-in speaker and volume control, the Stylophone can be played out loud, while the headphone jack allows for quiet practice. The line out (3.5mm) also enables users to connect the instrument to external audio equipment, expanding its versatility. Whether you're a seasoned musician or a beginner, the Stylophone is a must-have for anyone looking to explore the world of analog synthesis and create unique, captivating sounds.
