looking for stylophone schematics

[creekree]

does anyone know where i can find schematics for stylophones?

i figured those would make great christmas presents (at least to some people.. and i know exactly who should get one )
better start early than to run out of time.

i have googled but have not found anything yet - so if someone could point me in the right direction that'd be cool!

creekree- don't have any schematics, but apogee sells a kit similar to a stylophone
http://www.apogeekits.com/bagpipes.htm
Electronic Bagpipes Audio Oscillator Electronic Kit

there is a small schematic at the site as well

is that really a 1.5 OHM resistor in your amplifier schematic???
or is there a typo and 1R5 is supposed to mean 1K5?

Not my schematic, mate. Just one snatched off line somewhere..I usually salvage my amp circuits from cheapo computer speakers for $1.49 at the local thrift store.(These speaker/amp circuits are powered by the LM or TDA I.C. audio amp variety)

bad quality, but that's all I got

Unijonction tranny could be replaced by a 2N6027 (not sure, check)

cheers,
