Stylophone The Original Pocket Electronic Synthesizer | Synth Musical Instrument | Synthesizer Keyboard | Stylophone Instrument Synth

Very unique. So much fun. Compact. easy start up. Only bummer is no music came with it and haven't found znh music for it except carefully studying videos on you tube...

Quality sound and portable

My child absolutely loves it! It is fun to play

Got this little Stylophone synth and it's been a fun musical toy to mess around with. The retro electronic sound is pretty cool, and it's definitely a conversation starter when friends come over. You can easily carry it around since it's truly pocket-sized, which is nice.The instrument has a unique charm to it - there's something satisfying about sliding the stylus across the metal keyboard to make those distinctive electronic tones. While it's entertaining and definitely brings something different to the table, I do think the price point is a bit steep for what you're getting.Worth picking up if you're into unique electronic instruments or retro gear, but just be aware you're paying partly for the novelty factor. Still having fun with it though, and it's a nice addition to my collection of musical gadgets

This thing came a day after it shipped. A day. And it arrived on Sunday. I was so blown away.I saw this thing and decided to check it out, as it seems like a cool lil instrument to fool around with, and, as I expected, its just that and more. For the size, it actually produces some really good volume and sound.Now, don't be expectin' to be picking this up and be a pro at it right away if you haven't messed with stuff like this before. This is actually a tiny complex tool. You've got three different sound switches to choose from, all ranging in the same octaves, and a vibrato switch that adds some nice waves to the sound. You play notes with the attached metallic stylus, which connects with the similarly metallic keyboard (As is the case, no you cannot use your fingers on this lil bud,) and you'll quickly find that you gotta be firm with the stylus. You can't just be wishy-washy on notes and just hold the stylus lightly, cause the keys aren't going to be able to read a firm enough connection.Likewise, its going to be very difficult switching notes and especially sliding at first without getting a little disconnecting crackle from leaving the previous note, but soon enough you'll figure out how to easily slide through notes, seamlessly like a proNow the last neat part of this pal is the tuner on the back. At first, it seems to be in an odd spot, and, again, if you haven't played around with these kinds of things, you're going to be confused, but this dial is more meant for giving a little pitch bend to your note, also allowing for you to go a few notes higher or lower than the established range. If you are planning to jam with some pals and not just play around on your own, dootin' some notes, this dial is gonna be essential to droppin' some styleNow, in my experience so far, I've found the best way to play is by holding the device length wise in your hand (so sideways along your hand,) that way you can easily move your thumb and index finger for not only the pitch dial, but the volume wheel and the vibrato switch, and then, to train at this, I pull up basically any artist who does synth stuff, and I start just hitting some background pitches and doin' whatever I want to match with the stuff.It takes training, and its definitely more of a background instrument than one that can take a solo like a champ (at least, thats what my experiences have yielded so far, maybe I'll fine a way)All in all, absolutely love this thing, gonna be messin with it for a good while

Fun product

It is perfect! I got it for my nephew after his heart surgery and he loves it. It is pretty loud and you can adjust the volume.

Sonically this is pretty limitedBUT the novelty of playing this synth with a stylus makes for some cool articulations that just wouldn’t exist on a comparable instrumentThe sliding of notes for instance is pretty magicalIt seems built quite wellI got a branded case with mine & I have the utmost confidence in that pairingI haven’t used it too much but it’s pretty intuitiveAs it works on batteriesIt’s quite portable & I’m glad I have the case for this reason
