I recently saw this thing for 25% off, and thought i'd give it a try. I wasn't sure what it would be like, but it is pretty fun. My favorite thing about the new stylophones is the MP3 jack, you can play your mp3s through the speaker and jam along, it's quite fun. I might have given it five stars, but after about ten minutes of playing the keyboard area was obviously scratched by the stylus. I'm betting the build quality is not as good as the original, but hey, it works and is very cheap to buy.If think you might like it, go for it. Even if it does break later on you barely spent any money on it and you had some fun.

This is something I bought for just because I needed a portable keyboard on the go. I have fallen in love with this piece of equipment. Not only was it cheap , but it can play in three octaves using a switch and it can bend pitch almost up an octave. It also works as a portable speaker (sadly its Mono). You can also use it with earphones or a Amplifier. Overall this stylophone synthesizer is loads of fun.

just got this in today, and i love it, it has that now antique synth sound, like out of a fellini movie, response is excellent considering the price, nice and loud, with three dif octaves and a pitch knob on the bottom, i love it, you cant get sounds from scary movie to church organ,and to beat all that, very very cool design, it looks like a anacronism embedded in the dashboard of a 57 chevy, or imagine a furturistic 350 style top panel on a fender tube amp, ok thats silly, but this things cool

The Stylophone is a fun instrument but its not a toy. Like any instrument, it can be used as a toy as a means of entertaining oneself or a child. However the more you know about music and especially electronic music, the more likely you will be able to coax music from the Stylophone. I am a musician and I love it's quirky transistor organ sound. In this day and age of everything being digital its nice to have such an affordable electronic analog instrument available, if even just for the novelty of it. By running the Stylophone through a few effects (think Korg Mini-KP) via the 1/8th inch output you can really start to tap into some amazing sounds. It definitely has a cheesy retro sound to it, but this is part of its charm. Arranging music is all about color, texture, and contrast and the Stylophone can sometimes add just the right amount of slightly nasty wheeze to a track to really make it stand out. If you don't believe me just ask David Bowie.

It might be easy to pass this mini-synth off as just a useless toy. Yes, it is plastic and yes, it is dirt cheap!

However, this is a reproduction of a classic instrument invented in the 1960s and has found it's place in many influential recording since it's release in 1967. Featuring all the original features of the original with an added audio through input and volume control, this little bit of Electronic Music Gadgetry is one cool stocking stuffer for the Electronic Musician.

Noted recordings which feature this instrument are David Bowie's 'Space Oddity', Kraftwerk's 'Pocket Calculator' and it's featured regularly on a few They Might be Giants songs.

Most of us can afford the small penny this thing costs and I seriously recommend it!
