The Stylotron

I made this a few months ago (Belcat  delay courtesy of the Fretboard Composition Challenge). It makes some quite interesting sounds.

Nice.

Shame about the unfortunate association with that Australian chappy.

I was trying not to mention him. X_X  I did notice when I bought the Stylophone that there wasn't a single mention of him on the packaging, though. Maplins were clearing them ou for £9.99 (yes, it was an impulse purchase) which might have had something to do with its previous endorser.

This is a digital recreation of the original analogue one.

Blimey! A tenner you say?

I'm off to town tomorrow to get one.

I'm not sure if they'll still be selling them - I bought mine early in the year.

[edit] @Sassafras You're in luck - but they've gone up!
