As seem on Something For The Weekend
Question: What do you get when you combine 1960s cheesy sound with a 21st century human beatboxer? Answer: A Beatbox Stylophone of course!
Re-launched a couple of years ago, the Original Stylohpone is a divine combination of 1970s design and 2007 technology. All you did is touch the metal "keyboard" with the stylus and a note is made. Now the original electronic pocket organ synthesizer has been reinvented again with three all new exclusive sounds - beatbox, percussion and steel drums.
Completely remodelled, it features a circular keyboard with 13 metal sound pads that will play a different percussion sound, created by human beatboxer MC Zani. Who is he you ask? Only the winner of the 2008 Vauxhall UK Beatbox championships! Top it off with steel drums and you have a stylophone with real attitude. Just imagine how "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" would have sounded if ole Rolf Harris had this little musical innovation - or perhaps not!
Also new is the record and scratch functions that allow you to playback loops of your own creation. Another feature is the tempo adjust switch for beat pitch control during loop playback. The MP3 input feature means it is also possible to syncopate your scratches along with your favourite tracks. Plug in your device and lay down some dope style to your favourites.

Product Details
The Stylophone
The Dubreq Stylophone was a runaway success in the '70s, not so much within musical circles (although they have been used by such luminaries as David Bowie, Kraftwerk and Pulp) but as a gimmick, a toy, a marketing success story.
Dubreq was founded in 1967 by three British workmates: Brian Jarvis (inventor of the Stylophone), his brother Ted and Burt Coleman. They worked in the Broadcast / Film industry, dubbing and recording film sound.
The company brought in jovial Australian entertainer Rolf Harris to help promote the Stylophone. Rolf was a popular kid's TV presenter at the time and his almost shameless propensity for jolllity and self-promotion made the Stylophone a huge success to the point where most people thought that Rolf actually invented the thing himself... he did not - he was merely a well-known face used to promote it.
But he did a great job (and was quite a virtuoso on it) and the Stylophone was a huge commercial success in its short life!
Marketed as a 'pocket electronic organ' that anyone could play with no musical training, it used a stylus to play the notes - you touched the metal 'keyboard' with the stylus to complete a circut and a note was triggered. There were two settings: a 'straight' sound and a vibrato sound selectable from a slider switch to the left of the 'keyboard'.

My husband saw this on the TV and said he wanted it, so when I saw it on this website I ordered it as it was in stock. The service was excellent, I ordered late evening, email next day to say despatched via city link and came next morning. Couldn't fault service nor item- This beatbox not only beats other stylophone’s, but Menkind also beat other websites for service!
I saw this product on the telly and wanted it, and I knew just where to find it. Absolutely brilliant! I bought it for my son for Christmas but may keep it for myself. Your web site is so up to date. Fantastic!
I ordered this item as soon as I saw it reviewed on Something for the Weekend and I have to say im even more than impressed now I have one.
The item will provide hours of fun, and the option of using it over your favourite mp3 tunes brings a whole new dimension to your favourite music. This would make a great gift for anyone, especially with christmas around the courner. The item arrived within two working days, I couldnt be happier.
