Hands up who remembers stylophones? I didn't until I was informed that this wee instrument was rather popular in the seventies and was famously used on the intro to David Bowie's Space Oddity and The Robots by Kraftwerk.
Basically, this little instrument can be used to make some weird sounds, and has the option of playing an MP3 alongside your melody making. If you're into that side of electronic music making get a slice of retro must haves with this reissue of the Stylophone now available from HMV for just £14.99 complete with retro packaging.

Get retro sounds from the re-issued Stylophone
I went into HMV in Stockport, Greater Manchester to ask about the stylophone and the staff and manager there knew nothing about them selling the Stylophone!!
