The Raconteurs Stylophone

[MaReTrioX2]

Nice!!! I want to touch this Stylophone!!

:)

[shiroikasumi]

1. SHE is a girl, so the fingernails are all right (still: WTF? I don't get why people complain at all)

2. You can tune these things, but it is rather hard to do by ear if you're not a trained musician, or don't have a tuner (I tuned my with a tuner, and it was hard enough though!)

3. I would love to have the numbers of the songs *.*

[hanskever]

You need to try to slide more :) Sounds a lot better

[xXChenjixNoxKazeXx]

Great job at showing off the stylophone :) I think it should be advertised more

[diddlybop]

it seems kinda ruddy, i don't think it's you playing it badly i think it's just bad quality ?

[jeffknightrogen]

Y I heard that the Raconteurs were selling those at the merch stands at their shows. Thats so awesome I would have loved to buy one... or even see them live for that matter. But ya I had a hell of a time trying to find somewhere to buy one, but I bought one today of a website, the shipping was more than it cost.

[fjordbisque]

You have to be not tone deaf to know whether or not it's in tune. It's actually really easy to know

[CubeableGame]

Is that a reliable stylophone? I think of getting one of these.

[zeppelindan500]

what song is playing at the beginning?

[FlannelMakesMovies]

For free stylophone tabs, go to wwwXflannelstylophonetabsXtk (replace Xs with dots)

Msg me for me info.

[theoryx413]

how did you get that?

[snoutout]

you're off key

[10robbo]

does it plug into an amp?

[Salohcin8940]

@10robbo no

[thegreencow1337]

@10robbo Most of them do now :)

[CubeableGame]

What's the song from 0:05 to 1:29

[TBCfan123]

cut your nails you fuckng gay bastard

[greenethump3]

A lot of guitar players have long fingernails.

[hoboreijo]

Nice but cut your nails...

[underpuka]

cool

[123yanicko]

i think you might have to tune it up a bit thats what i did with mine i just used a guitar tunner and set it chroma instead of guitar and its perfectly in tune now, its just a suggestion.

[xlinwenx]

either it's really out of tune (unlikely, since its electronic) or you're playing in the wrong key for like all these songs.

[8Black8Rabbit8]

this can actually be tuned

[litemasta]

My mate has a thing for strange instruments, he like collects them intending to do something with them and never uses them. He has a stylophone and I think he just shoved it under his bed XD.

[litemasta]

Its called Attention

[ashjamie]

omg I want one!!!

[KATE24211]

=D you good

[AntiCitizenOne1]

[temusicfreak]

[beowman]

[temusicfreak]

Thanks.

[beowman]

[tribfestuk]

[telecaster1963]

This one sounds good. Reminded me an old Farfisa organ.

[N1ckSc0tt]

Cut your nails man

[DinosaurSoda]

I'm a girl n00b.

[Lamurias]

that was terrible. is this really your best?

[DinosaurSoda]

No.

[AirportMonkey]

You are so cool.

[punk91]

he's hitting the wrong notes but on 7 Nation Army it was actually harmonizing

[higgy531]

i got an iStylophone on my iPod touch!

[theappraised]

You dont tune those. He's just hitting he wrong notes.

[georgefruit]

you do actually.

[PriestsOfSyrinx]

Now I want a stylophone...

[markitymark90]

Cool instrument but it's poorly tuned -_-

[gregieb0i]

hes just out of tune.

lawls.

but its a good attempt.

[elmuro]

Hey dude can you put the numbers of the 7 nation army song? please

5 stars

well done! :)

[hanghang71]

yes i just got one for xmas and i'm 38

[iluvjackwhitemost]

I just got one today it's the coolest thing ever

[jakesnake1811]

your hands are sexy when they play raconteurs merchandise

[MFYFE4]

@jakesnake1811 duoble it when the song "hands" is bieng played

[ConquestStripes]

@jakesnake1811

Anyone's hands are.

[TheStylophonist]

SICK!

5 stars -D

Check out my stuff please =D

[Lordwigfried]

I you read those instructions you'd know there's a tuning knob on the bottom!

[DinosaurSoda]

im not stupid, i do know that without reading stupid instructions, the hard bit if knowing if its in tune or not.

[smellymax]

you have to get a guitar tuner

one with a microphone built in it.

Play an E on the stylophone, then

just swivel round the tuning nob.

BIngo. Till it says E.

[TomstaUK]

Or there are plenty "tune as you hear" videos on youtube you could just tune it from here =] for free too.

[jakemetalhead]

You went wrong at when you said "Im not stupid."

[AirportMonkey]

Damn straight! I can't tune by ear at all.

All these folks are just jealous of your mad skills =]

[lucpallot]

@DinosaurSoda It's not that hard really, if it sounds out of tune, then it's out of tune. But it's just a ruddy stylophone so who really cares.

[weaselsuit]

@Lordwigfried Heh heh. NOT a musician. But he never clained to be either. You CAN hear that when he's "playing", the thing is quite flat...

[iluvjackwhitemost]

im sorry but i give this a major lol at how poorly this is tuned.

[LizardKing1251]

I bought one at San Diego, but don't play it, so it won't break =P

I also met Jack and got his autograph =D

most amazing day EVER!

[surfingbananas]

the raconteurs songs are all tuned down a semi tone anyway so its hard to play along to the cd versions even with a guitar.

[redwhiteblack3]

not on consolers of the lonely...

[surfingbananas]

top yourself is...

[Jimsers2]

That stylophone is unbelievabley cool.

[Lugak14]

Yes! I bought one at a Raconteurs show. Only 40 bucks and it feels like a steal! haha.

[gdsminority]

lmao that things sick

[Beatboxbob]

you're out of tune.

[DinosaurSoda]

you do better then after a few hours of having an instrument.

[Beatboxbob]

tbh, it's simply a case of twisting the nob on the back 'till it sounds like you're playing the same notes. if you were playing alone it'd be fine.

[martyndavenport]

Just bought one at Leeds Festival yesterday, I got the music booklet for how to play "Attention" not "Salute your solution". I wonder how many different ones there are?

[tomisntmyfriend]

lol its great

[Tofoostirfry]

None at the shows I attended! Bought one on eBay and it doesn't freakin' work!

[ASTROAVERY]

=0

that sucks!

[CannibalWhirm]

lol

[helterskelter315]

Im really glad I got one of these at the Racs show I went to. Their going for something like 100-200$ on ebay!

[MovieCrew]

Damn, is this the recreation stylophone, god, it sounds awefull. Im so happy i just bought an old one.

[hanghang71]

aren't you one of thosetits who pay££££'s for the 70's ones when these are just the same but with moreswitches on/they are both mass produced cheap and an old one is in no way a vintage model

[goncack]

Haha.....that's awesome.

[aulrich]

where did u purchase this?

[petethebanjo1138]

you really need to tune your stylophone.

i bought one of those at their show but mine didn't come with the booklets on how to play their songs! my brother's didn't either and that just annoyed me.

[DinosaurSoda]

yeah i duno how to tune it lol...

You need to contact someone at kungfu nation.. google their name and they will send you the booklets

[Rockmon17]

How do you get one

[klrc0]

i want one of those!

[DinosaurSoda]

haha :D they're great fun, even if i can't play it well.. so far I can play (kind of)

Salute Your Solution

7 Nation Army

(A tiny bit of) Steady As She Goes

Harry Potter theme tune

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Silent Night

From just having it 2 days :D ha

[soylattelovesjack]

that is so awesome! Seriously when are they coming to australia? its sooo unfair that the us and the uk get all the good bands first :(

[scarlettdear]

what are you talking about? the u.s. doesent get half the dates as the uk does. the u.s. has been taken over by mainstream bands and i feel it discourages good bands, like the Stripes and Raconteurs, from playing quality gigs here.

[DinosaurSoda]

Nope :( We've only had 2 dates here this year, the others have all been festivals.

but in 2006 we got a lot of dates

[DinosaurSoda]

Yeah I feel bad for Australia.

[Baks9]

*laughs*

steady as she goes was so out of tune :P

i love it.. i still want one! :D

love ya aimee :) xxxxxx

[DinosaurSoda]

Brett you're mean! :P

haha, you should come here and play tetris, you know you wanna ;)

<3 love you too. xxxxx

[Baks9]

haha no i was suprised at how well you played the others! dont get me wrong!! :D

haha and YES i want to play Tetris.

NOW

[FernandoDANTE]

Possibly the most old-school version of Guitar Hero?

[shigureseditor]

Oh god. So full of awesome.

[DinosaurSoda]

yep :D haha.

[edmedmoped]

[DinosaurSoda]

[1039centi]
