Chris, you're probably the only other person I know who even knows what that
is! A cousin of mine had one when we were kids. That was well over sixty years
ago. Now, do you remember who it was who voiced the little record that came
with it to teach you about the instrument, how to play it and keep it clean?

Certainly back in the 70’s it was perceived as being somewhat state of the
art, but these days I think most people probably have much greater expectations.
When they relaunched them they also made a stylohone rhythm device, which had
some equally basic drum sounds.
