If you're a fan of retro musical instruments, we've got some good news.

The Very Cool Software Company, a UK-based Mac OS developer, recently announced its first iPhone application: Dubreq iStylophone.

The Dubreq Stylophone is an electronic musical instrument, originally invented by Brian Jarvis in 1968 and manufactured in the UK by Dubreq.

The Dubreq Stylophone, also known as 'the original pocket electronic organ', sold millions in the early '70s and used by artists including David Bowie, Brett Domino, Erasure, Hexstatic, Krafwerk, Marilyn Manson, Orbital, Pulp, The Raconteurs and They Might Be Giants. And Rolf Harris.

Now the VCSC is bringing the Stylophone into the 21st century. You'll be able to replicate the instrument's sound as well as other features by using the phone's touchscreen. The app costs $5.95 (£4) and will be available for download on 1 December. -Dong Ngo
