stylophone My first keyboard, a Stylophone as advertised by Rolf Harris. It came with a flexidisc demonstrating how a quartet of Stylophones could make 'Amazing Grace' sound really good. The vibrato feature offers an imperceptible difference to the sound, it may be slightly more buzzy than usual.

SHS10 This is a fantastic round-the-neck keyboard, in the style of Howard Jones. You can easily date it by the fact its demo tune is 'Last Christmas' by Wham! It has a great pitch-bend dial, and even a MIDI socket so you can plug it into a proper synthesiser.

VSS30 The novelty on this keyboard is the voice sampler, but it also has a whole load of tools for altering the sounds like frequency modulation.

VSS30 Here's the sampler in close-up.
