Dr. Böhm Hobbyton - the self build stylophone

Dr. Böhm is a german organ factory. The Hobbyton is a good dubreq stylophone clone with a different square wave sound and vibrato from the late 70`s.

Sorry of the bad sound quality of my little web cam ;-)

OMG! Ja hatte ich auch... Man kann wirklich überall Musik "Rausholen". Nächstes Stichwort: Bontempi Gebläse- Orgel.... Vati ging´s dann später doch zu sehr auf die Nerven...Seufz :)

Das Teil klingt wirklich grauenhaft aber optisch erste Sahne :)

yea but its not a reeeeaal stylophone, u can't beat the originals.

@StephenHart92 At 0:10, you can see the NE555 Multivibrator and a lot of resistor

[nikeplektrum]

You would need to ground yourself to the device aswell to create a full circuit. Device -> your hand -> key. That is why there is a wire connecting the stylus to the stylophone.

@AngusT07171 Oscillator can only sound one note at a time. Wouldn't work with more than one key at a time, as when playing chords.

It needs to complete the circuit, that is why the pen has a wire attached

[FogOut9921]

lol wrong

[StephenHart92]

does anyone know where i can find a circuit diagram for this?

[jdgator95]

not unless you had wires going into the foil like the pen has

[AngusT07171]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but you could probably play that with alfoil on your fingers.

i still have my stylophone
