This has reminded me of an appearance by Wakeman on a (comedy) quiz show on British TV - he was provided with about 10 or 12 stylophones on stands in an arc around him (a la his grandiose stage set up) and asked to perform. This also made my day. I think the show was about innovations (mainly from the 60s and 70s) that have passed into kitsch classics or have been entirely forgotten - maybe someone on the list remembers the show and can elucidate?

I remember the RW performance. Wasn't it
on a quiz show called Bygones? Mint and boxed old Stylophones are
supposedly still available from the manufacturers' website.

Hey hey....
Stylophones are great....No matter how much stuff
you put on a track the Stylophone always finds it´s way to the
forefront...How about Stylophone sounds for the Mellotron or maybe a new
grungedisc for the Optigan....?
;
Just Ideas.....
...and yes I´d love to use a Birotron live....I
have used a Orchestron live on tv...Silent Night on Christmas eve....Very
nervous....Not recommended for pregnant women or people with heart
conditions...All of a sudden the Stylophone seems very reliable and
trustworthy...

Possibly more for UK consumption, would that be a 'Hammond House of Horror Story'? Best Regards, Nic Birotron #009 still awaiting rebuild :-(
