Expert opinion

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the Stylophone Retro Pocket Synth. This classic synthesizer is a recreation of the 1967 classic and it has some impressive features that make it a great choice for anyone looking for an affordable, portable instrument.

The Stylophone Retro Pocket Synth is an incredibly small instrument that can fit in your pocket. It measures 2.36 x 1.86 x 3.41 inches, and weighs only 0.55 pounds, making it perfect for taking on the go. The casing comes in white, black, or grey and features a stylus operated keyboard with 20 keys across 5 octaves. On the bottom of the instrument there is a tuning knob which allows you to tune the Stylophone or do pitch bend effects while playing. In addition to this feature, there is also a built in speaker with volume control and an optional headphone jack so you can practice without disturbing others around you. Finally, theres a 3.5mm line out jack so you can connect it to an amp or other sound system if desired.

I was impressed by how easy it was to use this synth right out of the box. The keys are very responsive and I found that I could quickly get up and running with minimal instruction or setup time required. One thing I did have to get used to was using the stylus to hit the keys instead of my fingers, but after a few minutes I got used to this style of play and found it quite enjoyable! Additionally, I found that the tuning knob was very helpful as it allowed me fine tune my sound until I was satisfied with it.

Overall, I think that the Stylophone Retro Pocket Synth is an excellent choice for people who want a small and reasonably priced synthesizer that they can take on the go with them wherever they may need it. The small size makes it easy to carry around while still being able to produce some truly impressive sounds from its tiny package! While novices may find themselves having to spend some time getting used to using this type of instrument, those who already have experience with synthesizers will likely find themselves able to quickly take advantage of all its features and produce some great music straight away!
