Sylophone Retro Pocket Synth Quick Look!
BrickinNick and Friends
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.
