Anyone ever play a STYLOPHONE?

[benmealer]

I just picked up a stylophone today, but one of the keys won't work so I have to return it tommorow. Seems like fun, though. I'll put a link for anyone that doesn't know what a sylophone is.

That guy is hilarious...watching his other videos I can't tell how much is an act and how much is real, which makes it even funnier. Great Christmas video too:

As for the stylophone, sounds like a musical mosquito.

lol the sound reminds me of:

I like it though. Is it monophonic?

Ha! Yeah, Simon. When I was little I had an accident on my brother's Simon and broke it. I remember him being really mad at me.
The S-phone is monophonic. You play with a stylus that has a wire attached to it. The keys are metal and when the stylus hits one it completes a circuit so only one note can play at a time. When you slide it over a few keys though the notes change quick and sound sort of cool. It has an input so you can plug an ipod into it and it play along through the speaker. It also has a headphone jack, 3 different sounds (bass, regular, and high) and a tuning knob on the bottom so you can tune to another instrument.

I've got one. Pretty nice. Pretty fun to play, although you get a bit bored because you can't really play with others with it.

wWhy not? You can plug it into computer speakers so you can make it loud enough. I was thinking that it may be good for simpilish bass line kind of things. No? Like in "Tainted Love".

They're good fun to play. I've had one for years and go back to it every now and then. David Bowie used to use it all the time.

GIMME!!

Now there's a challenge I'd be interested in. Those things are crazy hip.

Closest I got was playing with styrofoam, my first surfboard at age 6.

I used my stylophone on this one
I used to have one when I was a kid and someone sent me one last week but I don't know who it was. Anyone know?
