Sure, this little hack requires more than basic soldering skills and you’ll need an actual synth for sound output, but we’ve always been intrigued by the Stylophone David Bowie used to write songs on, and now we can build one. The 29-note ‘keyboard’ is really just an exposed circuit trace, and completing a circuit by touching the metal stylus to one of the keys sends voltage to your synth and lets you get glam in the comfort of your own home. Complete instructions at the read link, and a video of Bowie in action after the break (it’s at the very end).
