Otamatone Deluxe [English Manual] Electronic Musical Instrument Synthesizer from Japan by Cube/Maywa Denki, White

A fun, quirky instrument with a splash of character! The Otamatone isn't the easiest instrument to play but like anything, if you have the dedication and make the effort to learn then you can play a variety of tunes. I mainly got this as décor with the intention of entertaining guests should they want to give it a go (it does bring a lot of laughs and a couple of my musician friends seem to love playing with it). It produces a unique and interesting sound that either you'll love or find really annoying. I would definitely advise looking online for Otamatone content before committing to purchase; though I assume most people looking at this product are here because of just that. Personally, I love mine, even if I'm not great at playing it.

An incredible instrument, brandished by some of the musical masters of the world. Whip it out at karaoke, gala events, church fete's… Provide unprovoked backing music to a strangers life stories as they chat loudly on the bus. The only bummer is that the Line Out does not seem to work and the Intonation changes when the octaves are switched. If these things are fixed, I would love to take this on stage and pretend to be serious.

It’s funny toy but VERY annoying sound. If you play it for more than 10 mins then everyone with run away fro the room.

This is a strange and fun instrument. It's a challenge to play a recognisable tune on it, but that's not the point. Just experiment and have a laugh with it!

This is the second Otamatone that I have. The first was a present from Japan four years ago, and I wanted a back up one in case the first one ever broke. I use it in a stage act. My first otamatone I built a hard case for it, because as it is made of plastic and I thought it probably could easily be broken. However,it is still going strong four years later after being lugged around the country in a backpack all that time. I play it every day. The thing that gives it its unique character is the "Wah Wah" effect of opening and closing the mouth, which makes it sound like a small toddler learning to talk. They are quite difficult to learn how to play, but that is part of the fun of the instrument. I recommend you buy some rechargable batteries for it as it does use a lot of battery power.

Bought for teen son. He loves it. Very expensive for what it is I think. Makes all musical notes by putting finger on the neck and moving it along to the other notes. Open and close the mouth at the same time to make a different or louder tone. Has a couple of sound tone settings - the high tone setting brings cats from the next town It can be plugged into an amp or speaker (no idea why anyone would want to!!!) has NO headphone jack so be prepared to have the delightful tones ringing in your ears for hours !! Has a volume knob also and takes aa batteries can be plugged into mains I think not Totally sure - not going to find it to check incase he sees it and starts playing it (again!)

More of a toy than an instrument. Difficult to get a good sound out of it. Very overpriced. I’ve persevered by practicing daily, but in hindsight should have returned.

I primarily bought this to annoy absolutely everybody, after seeing one that a friend of my sons had. Arrived today 30/8 - wasn't due until 17/9 so extremely impressed with delivery. Batteries are included and only took a minute or two before i was laughing like an idiot. So simple to set high, low or medium frequency. Can't wait to try and emulate my favourite songs (even when it sounds bad, its still hysterically funny). Win win situation lol

Amazing piece of musical engineering. I'm enjoying it very much. Its like its alive. I can now play music for the first time in my life.

My son loves that instrument! Lots of fun 🎶

Ottimo prodotto

Is een leuk instrument moet je echt proberen

El primero nos salió rana y tenía un sonido raro de fondo que sonaba sin tocar el pad notas graves, este segundo que hemos comprado funciona a la perfección, se nota que dese el primer momento este nuevo Otamatone funciona perfectamente.
