Nice!

I went to see Rolf at the barrowland a few years ago, the nearest I have ever got to having a religious experience.

The Dübreq Stylophone is a miniature stylus-operated synthesizer invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis for Moviecol Enterprises Limited. It consists of a metal keyboard played by touching it with a stylus — each note being connected to a voltage-controlled oscillator via a different-value resistor - thus closing a circuit. Some three million Stylophones were sold, mostly as children's toys.

In October 2007 toy company Re:creation, in conjunction with Dubreq Ltd (re-formed in 2003 by Ben Jarvis, the son of the original inventor), re-launched the Stylophone, 32 years after the original had ceased to be manufactured. The new model, officially called the S1 closely resembles the 1960s original but has a volume control and features an audio throughput function, as well as sporting two new sounds.
I have a new one in the mail, I kept meaning to get one but forgot until I saw the Beatbox one Jasmine posted the other day.

Between this and the chord organ and the melodica I'm gonna sound like a vintage preschool.
