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.

Delightful Instrument
This instrument is indeed entertaining and will serve its purpose. The shipping was earlier than I anticipated for which I applaud. The condition and durability however, is quite vulnerable in terms of cosmetics. Upon opening, I discovered that the metal board was already slightly pre-scratched which doesn’t bother me as much but the board will accumulate more scratches regardless of how delicately the stylus is used. The Stlophone logo covered by the film will lose its chrome finish upon moist abrasion such as sweat leaving black marks where the letters are. The switch for the three different sounds requires more force to move than the power or vibrato switches. Be careful not to bring electronics such as phones near the Stylophone when it is in operation for it will generate static. The tuning peg at the back is easy to access and offers smooth turning. The MP3 and headphone jacks allow more ease of access and private use as well. Sound is not an issue because the device has an integrated speaker which can reach very loud sounds. The device is also constructed of a durable plastic disregarding the flexible speaker cover but is also prone to scratches. Voice modulation one is also flatter than the other modulations. Some overall modifications I would like to see is the vibrato switch replaced with a button of some sort and the voice option switch to be easier to move. Overall, the purpose of the instrument is well served and at an appealing cost as well. I look forward to doing more business in the future.

Fun Toyish Musical Instrument
Sonically this is pretty limitedBUT the novelty of playing this synth with a stylus makes for some cool articulations that just wouldnât exist on a comparable instrumentThe sliding of notes for instance is pretty magicalIt seems built quite wellI got a branded case with mine & I have the utmost confidence in that pairingI havenât used it too much but itâs pretty intuitiveAs it works on batteriesItâs quite portable & Iâm glad I have the case for this reason

SOUNDS LIKE FUN!
I purchased the Stylophone out of curiosity and because I love playing around with music, but I got a great new gadget. My 9 year old grandson and friend took turns noodling with it. They loved it! A perfect gift for someone whether a musician or curious. A bargain and lots of fun.

Very cool and great for learning.
My daughter purchased this and I am adding a review from what I have seen. Iâd like one too although I am a stickler for quality and these are not quite up to my old school standards, eg. the notes label was not placed or could not stay placed properly and is bubbling. For the price though I give it five stars and it indeed has me looking for a really cool high quality one to perhaps gift my daughter that she might enjoy it for a very long time. This one is so cool though and sounds great so I have considered that I might laser cut and engrave a new notes label out of Black walnut or something and make a great little instrument even better. I wouldnât hesitate to get a case of these and share them with others for fun! my daughter is learning new songs all the time and itâs quite impressive how cool Star Wars theme songs sound on it.

Never knew this was so easy and fun to play.
My musically inclined son stumbled upon this instrument while surfing YouTube videos and became instantly intrigued. He received it as a gift, and he plays it almost every day. The entire family enjoys trying to create a unique sound with this small yet powerful instrument. The quality seems to be good as well. It’s also relatively easy to play.Buy it. I believe you will love it if you are a fan of instruments and their unique sounds, you will enjoy the convenience of a small yet powerful device.

Son loves it.
My son had asked for this and at first I was a little skeptical. But it actually worked pretty good and I was surprised. The sound quality is pretty good and the battery life seems pretty decent since we havenât had to change them yet. He loves it and was so excited and really thatâs all that matters to me is that he is happy with it.
