Over at Retro Thing they're taking a look-back at the famous (or infamous) Stylophone; an early electronic music-maker that promised you the dream of sweet music on the go-- if you could get past Rolf Harris' hairy clock on the adverts.
My own involvement with the Stylophone was more of a close shave born of a lack of entertainment that archaeology is notorious for. After I totally failed to master even the rudiments of the harmonica, I once considered buying one of this little chirping keyboards to fight off the mind-numbing boredom of field surveying in remote areas. Lucky for me, I didn't have the dosh or I'd probably never have got out of camp alive!
