Talk:Dubreq Stylophone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How can the Beatles have used a Stylophone on a Hard Day's Night (which came out in 1964), if it wasn't invented until 1967? Blogjam 08:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to see a source cited for linking this instrument to the White Stripes song Icky Thump.

According to the single released album cover the instrument was a Univox Synthesizer. And in the music video for the song, Jack is very much playing some sort of keyboard, not this strange instrument.

Additional evidence against the White Stripes using a Dubreq Stylophone. A recorded live performance on YouTube shows Jack, once again, with a keyboard type synthesizer.

Wilco used the Stylophone on the song "Company in My Back" from their 2004 album A Ghost is Born.
