The Dubreq Stylophone is a miniature electronic musical instrument invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis. It consists of a metal keyboard played by touching it with a stylus - each note being connected to a cheap voltage-controlled oscillator via a different-value resistor - thus closing a circuit. Some three million Stylophones were sold, mostly as children's toys. Rolf Harris appeared for several years as the Stylophone's advertising spokesman in the United Kingdom.
Here is how it works and sounds:

Very cool! But have to wait until may to get one.
I was very curious about this instrument and I wanted to watch the video, but I'm afraid I need some kind of upgrade in order to watch videos on my computer. I think everything started when I opened a viagra online price that I supposedly won for being the 1000000 visitor.

The Stylophone was available in three variants: standard, bass and treble, the standard one being by far the most common. There was also a larger version called the 350S with more notes on the keyboard, various voices, a novel 'wah-wah' effect that was controlled by moving one's hand over a photo-sensor, and two styluses.
