Advantages: Pocket sized instrument for everyone to enjoy.

Disadvantages: Slightly tempremental when dusty

The Stylophone, what a novelty instrument. This pocket sized piece of technology is originally from the 70's, Rolf Harris' era. The Stylophone is just as fun now as it was then, and has a totally unique sound, all be it being a very strange, annoyingly brilliant sound.
It baisically does what it says on the tin, coming with it's own stylus, you can play tunes as soon as you take it out of the box, providing you have the batteries for it!

The Stylophone features 3 sounds, which progressively get higher frequency wise. From a dull tone, to a High pitch tone. Also with this beauty you have the option of vibrato, quite a comical, but satisfying sound, it is sure to put a smile on everybodies face.

The Stylophone features it's own tuning dial on the bottom which means you can change the pitch according to your needs. A volume dial on the side means that the dynamics of the instrument can also be changed.

The Handy part is it also comes with a headphone slot so when people are moaning at you to stop playing, you can play away with only you being able to hear the annoyingly wonderful tones of the stylophone.

The Stylophone is retro in it's looks department, but that is just what you want from it.

The only problem I have come across so far is, when the Stylophone becomes slightly dirty the tone can become interupted, however this is easily fixable with a quick wipe of a cloth.

The average price of the stylophone is £14.99 any more than this is probably not worth looking at. Places such as Firebox and HMV have these prices HMV have the Ivory white version whereas Firebox have the original Black version.

Overall a brilliant pocket instrument for everyone to have fun with, just don't expect to be churning out a number one hit with the sounds it produces.

Summary: A pocket sized piece of fun, why not splash out!
