Stylophone Beatbox

Product Description

When the legendary Stylophone was relaunched last year it became THE must have retro gift of the year! The little pocket rocket sold over 3 million from 1969 to 1975 & was endorsed by the one & only Rolf Harris. While we at Prezzybox agree with the adage " If it ain't broke don't fix it" we also believe in progress, particularly when it comes to gadgets. So we were delighted when we received the brand new invention from the musical gurus that brought you the Stylophone. The awesome Stylophone Beatbox! Beatboxing in hip hop originated in 1980s & is without question an art! This awesome performance of vocal percussion takes years of practice & is rarely mastered! But this is the ultimate shortcut... Stylophone Beatbox focuses on the key benefits & features of the original Stylophone whilst offering new technology & a more up to date sound. It has 13 pads on its circular 'keyboard' body which when touched with the metal tipped stylus, plays different percussion sounds. It also has 3 different voices, or sets of sounds which are selected via a three position switch. These are Drum kit, Steel Drum & Beatbox. Vibrato is available on all 3 sound sets plus manual pitch control & volume control. Beatbox also features a 'record' function which means that you can lay down a repeating beat, & then change the tempo up or down so you can play along with your own percussion track on a Stylophone or any other instrument."
