The official Soundcloud account for Dubreq.
Manufacturer of the Stylophone, Stylophone Gen X-1 and Stylophone S2

The Stylophone pocket synth was invented in 1968 by Brian Jarvis of Dubreq. In 2003 Dubreq was re-formed by Brian's son, Ben and in 2007 the first new Stylophone was launched!

Envisaged originally as a ‘toy synthesiser’, the instrument’s unique method of play and classic synth sound, coupled with it’s uniquely small size, made it popular with professional musicians as well as the public, and it has become a truly cult instrument with fans in the very highest echelons of the music industry.

The basic premise of the Stylophone design was simple; to create a keyboard instrument that was cheap to manufacture (by eliminating the need for physical keys and replacing them with the plated circuit board touch-pads it is now so famous for) and which was easy for anyone to pick up and learn. To intentionally cut out the esoteric ‘need to be taught’ that put so many youngsters and newcomers off picking up a musical instrument.

In 1969 David Bowie famously used the Stylophone in the track ‘Space Oddity’ and it’s popularity sky-rocketed even further. The Stylophone was subsequently used many famous artists of the day including the Beatles, Kraftwerk, Queen, Vangelis , The Osmonds and many more.
