Stylophone is back!

Any child of the 70's will know exactly what I am talking about!

My sisters and I each had one of these and absolutely loved them. They made such an awful racket though that there is no way I am buying one for my own kids!

    I would like to thank the person who bought my eldest an electric toy trumpet, & next time I see you I will be returning it......violently

    I so remember owning one of those. It was fantastic at the time. Think I have my original one still in the loft but if not, might invest in one of those to show the kids.

    You do that Alison, then after 30 minutes come back on here and tell us how great you think it still is......

    I'm finding quite a lot of stuff is better remembered than revisted......:D Don't spoil the memories!

    For those of you seriously thinking of buying one to relive their youth ( like me for a few seconds):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIhQKJ40UHM

    brings back all the memories of my Dad and my stylophone.

    Yup - I bought one, such a bad idea! It's like crack, I need a fix every few hours...

    Here's some tunes I've figured out so far...

    Tetris:
    5,2,3,4,3,2,1 - 1,3,5,4,3,2 - 3,4,5,3,1,1 - 4,6,8,7,6,5 - 3,5,4,3,2 - 2,3,4,5,3,1,1

    Death March
    7,7,7,4.5,8.5,7,4.5,8.5,7
    11,11,11,11.5,8.5,6.5,4.5,8.5,7

    The Entertainer
    4 4.5 5 10 5 10 5 10

    10 11 11.5 12 10 11 12 9 11 10

    4 4.5 5 10 5 10 5 10

    87 6.5 8 10 12 11 10 8 11

    4 4.5 5 10 5 10 5 10 10 11 11.5 12 10 11 12 9 11 10

    This should be supplied by schools to every kid in the country to practise at home for 4 hours every night at full volume.
