## Description

WHAT IS OTAMATONE?The Otamatone is a cute, quirky, and fun to play electronic musical toy characterized by its eighth note-shaped body, adorable moving mouth, and silly, buzzing, amusingly off-key ""voice."" Developed by design firm Maywa Denki, it was first released in Japan in 2009 and has been the country's best-selling musical toy ever since. Innovative, unique, and now a popular toy worldwide, the Otamatone has earned high praise from fans and the toy industry alike, including the Japan Toy Association's grand prize Japanese Toy Award in their 'High Target' toy division.HOW DOES IT WORK?You don't need to be a professional musician to have fun with the Otamatone - anyone can get the hang of it! Play any tune you like by sliding fingers up and down on the stem. Shake the Otamatone while playing for vibrato and create a ""wah-wah"" effect by squeezing the Otamatone's cheeks to make it's mouth open and close. Switches on the back of the head allow you to switch octaves, control the volume, and turn the Otamatone on and off to preserve battery life.ABOUT OTAMATONE ORIGINAL (BLACK & WHITE)The standard model of the note-shaped instrument Otamatone was released in 2009. Plays notes when the stem is pressed and adds vibrato when the mouth is moved. Also allows octave changes. With a little practice you perform songs in no time. The perfect choice for Otamatone beginners.PERFECT GIFT FOR KIDS, TEENS, AND ADULTS!Great as a Christmas or birthday gift for any child, music lover, or anyone who wants to have fun making cute, silly songs on the world's weirdest musical instrument! Makes a hilarious joke or gag gift, and the smaller, keychain-sized Otamatone Melody designed for younger kids makes an adorable party favor too!Please Note: Due to monitor differences, actual colors may vary slightly from what appears online.

Review: It's fun to use to anoy others as well as giving myself serotonin. - This thing is fun. It has settings for loud and regular volume. It also has a high pitch setting and a lower pitch setting. It can be used more quiet but if you squeeze the mouth it gets louder. My only issue is not with the product but myself and that is when I forget to put the actual setting to off. If you don't remember to actually turn it off like any normal electronics device then the battery will drain super fast. I usually use rechargeable batteries for this reason. It is sturdy and the face is nade of like a silicon so you can squeeze it.
Review: Loveable! - It works well, it has 3 different settings for pitches ranging from a low B flat to an ear piercing shriek. My friends and I love this, it's so fun to use and when you practice, you can make some funky tunes out of this magnificent boi. I named him Jerry, and everyone loves him. Great quality, and it makes a great gift for anyone! Would highly recommend, and I already have.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cool, Silly, Avant-Garde, Arty etc.
*by T***E on April 9, 2011*

This is not a toy for the average/normal. This is a specialty product for the musician who has everything but is always looking for that extra something to add to the show or recording. Like any instrument, there is a little learning curve, but you need a good ear since this is fretless. I like combining it with beats and other toy instruments (sometimes with a looping pedal) to make funny and challenging avant-gardening music. (Don't wear gardening gloves - it makes noting harder.) Audiences are extra entertained by it's novel appearance and nasal sound. It can also be used for evil, if one wants to make fun of that nasal-voiced boss behind his back, in the employees smoking room during stolen breaks or long hours hiding in odd places when avoiding doing that back breaking, mind numbing job... stuff like that. You know. Great sight gag on stage!
