Electronic Music instrument, 1924
The Staccatone was invented by Hugo Gernsback and Clyde J. Fitch. Gernsback promoted it as a do-it-yourself project for amateur electronics enthusiasts. The instrument had a single vacuum tube oscillator controlled by a crude switch-based 16 note ‘keyboard’. The switch-based control gave the note a staccato tone.
