Find some friends to sing or play guitar/piano/ukulele, and you can make a little orchestra for the one your celebrating! 

Here are the chords if you got someone to play with you:

Happy birthday to you
                              C
Happy birthday to you
                              G      F

Brian Jarvis "Mr. Stylophone"

I found this documentary videos on youtube about the stylophone, the inventer and the artist who use it. Interviews with "Little Boots", Stylophone orchestra of Great Britain and Brett Domino.

Part 1: "Mr. Stylophone"

"Meet Brian Jarvis (a.k.a "Mr. Stylophone"), inventor of the Dubreq Stylophone, an instrument that became recognized as an innovation by forward thinking artists such as David Bowie, Kraftwerk and Pulp. NME Journalist and synth enthusiast Jaimie Hodgson travels to North London to meet Brian and talk about the birth of the instrument and its journey to cult status."

Part 2: "Custom Design"

"Pop sensation Little Boots visits the Dubreq Stylophone headquarters and they build a custom version for her to use on stage."

I really enjoyed it, and hope that you will too!

"Move your feet" by Junior Senior

This is the intro:

If you have a buddy to play stylophone with you, he or she can play this:

The ”Oh yeah” riff:

The riff played on synth under the chorus:

Tip!
Be aware of how long you hold your notes down. If your breaks are right it will sound a lot more rhythmical.

”Love Generation” by Bob Sinclar

The ”whisling” part of this song by the french super DJ!

Tip!
This song is quite fast, and can be tricky to play in real tempo. So start with playing it slowly until you really know the song, and then you can work your self up faster and faster.

Good Luck!

“Final Countdown” by Europe

        > = Long notes

       :| | = Repeat

Tip!
Sliding can be very useful on this tune. Pull the stylus from one tab to the other without lifting it off the keyboard. Find the right places to use this effect, like the two last lines. Those are great for some sliding!

When you have learned it, you can try playing it to the real tune:

Hope you have fun!

Tip: The short notes should be played staccato (really quick touch, don't hold the notes), to make the melody sound like the originale. 

Enjoy!

The History of Stylophone!

The Stylophone is a small electric synthesizer. It is a metal keyboard that makes sound when you touch it with it’s stylus. Like this:

It was invented by Brian Jarvis in 1967, and went into production the next year. 

At that time, there where three available stylophone types:

Standard

Bass                                  Treble

Over three million Stylophones were sold! Most of them as toys for children.

After a while, a large version called the 350S also came along. With more notes, new sounds, and two styluses to play with. 

In the mid 70’s a new standard version was also produced. This one had faked wood on the speaker panel and a volume control. The stylophone had a rumour on being to loud for certain occasions, but the problem was finally solved!

In 1976 the production shut down. But in 2007 the toys company re:creation made a new version of the Stylophone. 32 years after it’s first appearance.

This new stylophone was named S1 and got an audio throughput function, and two new sounds.

We think the Stylophone is fun! The great thing about stylophones, is that anyone can play it, anywhere, at anytime. You do not need a lot of space, nor to be especially musical.

Because we love it so much, we have made this blog to share stylophone tabs and songs. 

Hope you will have fun to!
