MP-210 MINI PIANO
These kind of organs were produced in the mid-eighties in hundreds of different colours and names. This is the most stylish in black and silver.

PEO-800 MIMI ORGAN
Uuuh, what a wonderful DUBREQ Stylophone clone. And it sounds warmer and better than the original. I am sure the reason for that is the much bigger loudspeaker. I also love the beautiful box art - a very cool fake of the Stylophone box-illustration. And please notice: it's not a Mini Organ. It's a MIMI ORGAN!!!

MUSICAL STORYBOOK
This is the easier-to-handle version of the Sketch-A-Tune. Your finger walks over a "Magic Touch Keyboard" which is a 64 key matrix. The sheets are specially drawn images - they show how to move the finger over the matrix. Play it wild and you get strange patterns.

R-1088
Strange mix of a radio and an organ. You can change the mix-ratio between organ and radio. Cute PANASONIC design and very similar to the PANASONIC Do-Re-Mi phonoplayer-organ.

MELOPHONE
Another very cheap STYLOPHONE Clone. Sounds poor and very poor plastic. But incredible great box. You can create wonderful pattern-art, when you combine the boxes!

SKETCH-A-TUNE
Useless musical toy that generates sounds with a pencil on a pre-drawn field. You cannot generate "real" musical tunes - it only creates microtonal buzzes. I don't want to see the sad children in the 70ies, who tried to play children songs and failed. It is really an impossible mission.

Nucleonic
ELTRONOVOX
The oldest machine of my collection by a strange company called Nucleonic (^_^). There is no loudspeaker, just a small cable. You have to play it near a radio, which has to be tuned to 1000khz AM. Then you listen to the organ through your radio. This ugly little thing looks so selfmade, I think only one or two exist. A trade ad showed me, that it is from the 50ies!!!

ELECTRONIC VOICE SYNTHESIZER
This little robot is a simple buzzer... the sound comes through a wand, which pops out on the back, when you press the button. You have to "talk" into the wand without making any noise! The effect is a didgeridoo-a-like sound. You cannot understand anything... wooowwweeewuaaawwoowww.

Hey, it is so easy to build an organ... Just watch the electronic parts. Funny little thing with 70ies popular Candy Candy Anime Manga images! When you take off the batteries, it still plays for some seconds longer.

MUSON SYNTHESIZER
Incredible Machine. Far ahead of its time - a mini sequencer with endless possibilites. Kind of a ROLAND TB-303 but much cooler & cheaper - still cheaper... The coloured buttons can be used to change the melody and rhythm. Each color has a different tune. You can also change the speed and pitch of the sequence with 2 sliders. This was also released by Palitoy in the UK.

BEE GEES RHYTHM MACHINE
Much better than the Shaun Cassidy Electronic Organ and great for musical experiments, because the rhythm section and the sound will merge drastically when you play it loud. On top of that, you can pitch the sound over an octave up and down with a wheel at the back. I wish the Bee Gees had played this on their albums.

MAGICAL MUSICAL THING
Colourful and innovative design. A great masterpiece of the golden age of electronic musical toys. Great examples on the back of the box - play it with your knee, hip or elbow! I played it with my nose... very funny experience.

STAR MAKER GUITAR
Boys and girls... be prepared for the f**king greatest toy guitar on earth. Mattel created a masterpiece but unfortunately it is ultra rare. It creates the most brutal feedback noise you can imagine – without using any additional gear. Just take it in your hands and break biggest walls with the sound of this unearthy plastic. Many thanks to Jacques DuLong - inventor of the Bee Gees Rhythm Machine - for information and inspiration!

Nice little turntable with a n exceptional feature: a dancing pop group. The group-members react to the sound... so don't play death metal records... this will crush the plastic. Thanks to Hiromichi.
