Bowie Stylophone - Limited Edition Synthesizer

It really sounds like the melody at the end of Slip Away. Loved it!

So much fun! The wife loves it. Sounds great, easy to learn and it’s numbered. Great price considering the brand! Quality seems good, it’s all plastic. Functions as it should! Three sound levels, reverb and volume. See videos!

First of all, my husband loves David Bowie and his music. When he showed me this little Stylo phone I thought it was really really cool. This was a birthday present and he absolutely loves it. He wouldn’t mind setting a little bigger so he could play it and we love to see a bigger version of this. It’s a collectible for sure but what a joy kind of hard at first for me to understand how to play it but once you play it, it’s a lot of fun I would like to see more sounds in there like David Bowie but over all what a fun and fabulous and unique gift to get somebody Kudos and thumbs up

Fun for children, the stylus is connected by a short wire. So maybe not children. Maybe for someone’s with small hands. The sounds quality isn’t very great. The videos where David Bowie is using the device is misleading. I probably don’t have enough skill. Packaging and appearance are nice, portable, unfortunately i lost interest pretty quickly.

Good enough for David Bowie, good enough for me. If you are buying this, you already know what it is. It works great, and can be used with a mixer or other sound equipment. David Bowie used this as an instrument in one of his albums (Changes One). The album went Platinum. That should tell you something.

I had never heard of a stylophone before seeing it in my recommendations list after purchasing a new kalimba. But of course I had to buy this one; it's a limited edition David Bowie mini instrument! After playing around with it, however, I discovered how much I enjoy making music with it. You can learn simple tunes on it without too much difficulty, but becoming a pro at it does take some practice, but it's fun to practice and learn your favorite songs. The stylophone also comes with a booklet detailing Bowie's history with the stylophone, which is great for a Bowie fan like me. This is a must-buy for Bowie fans, and an easy recommendation for music lovers who want to learn a surprisingly complex but enjoyable instrument!

What a fun device well-made solid original and David Bowie signed off on it??

I am a former Professional Recording Engineer and Sound Mixer. Back in the 1970's I did some freelance mixing and Roadie work on a brief European Tour with David Bowie. I was just one of several Engineers hired at the time . We didn't really spend much time with him, Set up and tear down were done without any of the band around, we would interact during some rehearsals and then the performances. During my time I had no direct interaction, he pretty much kept to himself except for some close associates he had. I remember seeing Bowie playing this odd little machine from time to time. Not in any performances we worked on at the time but off stage. I was always curious as to what it was. After my stint, I returned to the US and learned in was a StyloPhone. I wanted to get one but at the time they were no where to be found in the US. I was really bummed (70's expression,LOL) Fast forward 46 years later I discover that I can finally get one but not just a Stylophone but a Limited Edition David Bowie one. This just completed a previous journey in my life. It is now a part of my current Music Studio Workstation. I love it!

Item as described speedy delivery

Me encanta. Lo compré para mis hijos, para que puedan tocar música divirtiéndose y al final me he pasado horas disfrutándolo yo. El sonido no es extridente, por lo que es perfecto para los enanos (y los vecinos) Además, cuenta con volumen y distintas octavas de sonido. Es peculiar, encima es edición especial por un poco más de precio, y pesa y ocupa poco. Como regalo musical es perfecto. Además, raro y poco conocido.

Un equipo muy bonito que ayuda a estimular la imaginación y crear sonidos.

Perfetto!

Super fun instrument, and it's analogue output sounds great through it built-in speakers. If you know your way around a keyboard, it's also fairly easy to play as well. I like the sleek white of the Bowie edition. The instrument still going strong and on the same batteries 5 months later. Note that there is no strangely no aux input like there is on the usual version, but there is aux out which what you're most likely to use anyway.
