Postmodern or not Wink Very Happy The Stylophone is coming back to a shop near you this Christmas!! (With or without Rolf Harris- I do not know, but this one has its own built in mp3 player- woohoo!!)

The greatest little instrument of the century is back!
2007 sees the re-launch of the Stylophone, set to take the UK by storm once more! It has now been sympathetically reproduced with the original design in mind – even down to the packaging. The Stylophone retains all the features from 1969 but with up-to-date technology, making it even more fun to make your own music!

A new, improved version!
Working directly with the original inventors, the updated Stylophone now has three new sounds as well as retaining the much-loved classic, with a vibrato option on all. Also new is the MP3 feature, which means it is now possible to play along to your favourite tune. The headphone socket / speaker unit enables you to either play on the move in silence or indeed share your music with friends, plus the volume control means you can now vary the sound level!

The Perfect Gift!
This little pocket rocket sold over 3 million from 1969 to 1975 and was endorsed by the one and only Rolf Harris. It became an immediate cult hit, even appearing in David Bowie’s hit track “Space Oddity” and has most recently appeared on the back of The Ministry of Sound annual, it has even been used by Orbital! There really is no better gift – this is an instrument that anyone can play and everyone loves!



I've got no links at this point, just that it's going to be mainly available in the UK at HMV records, Toys R Us (American store- maybe then it will be for sale in the States?), Debenhams (a VERY English department store. In fact there's one in the Bullring here in Brummie).

To be honest, I think the new specs are crap- Laughing but what do you think?? Perhaps there should be a Stylophone designing comp in the DIY section?? Shocked
