What is an 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.

Available in your choice of Otamatone Deluxe - the largest variety and the one most suited to musicians and others looking to master the instrument, the Original Otamatone, perfect for beginners and those looking for an Otamatone that’s a bit smaller than the Otamatone Deluxe, and the Otamatone Melody, a mini, keychain sized Otamatone great for both kids and collectors that plays a variety pre-recorded melodies.

How does it work?

The Otamatone creates electronic tones that you can control based on the position of your finger on the touch-sensitive fretboard. Use a switch on the back to choose an octave and slide your fingers up and down to play different notes. Open the Otamatone's mouth with a squeeze to change the sound from a hum to an “ahh” and create a “Wah Wah” effect.

A simplified version, the Otamatone Melody, is played by pressing a button located on its stem in time with your choice of a variety of popular, pre-recorded tunes.

A perfect toy for lovers of all things cute, silly, and weird, the Otamatone also makes a great gag gift, and a unique and amusing gift for violinists and other musicians.

Good value. Got my family into it. Fun, perfect present for a wide group of ages. The chain is cheap, but still worth the price design and functionality wise. Sounds as expected. A sample of the sound would be great in Amazon

The Otamatone Melody is an adorable and entertaining musical toy that "sings" a selection of popular nursery rhymes and a few other songs. It’s a delightful instrument that's sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. While you can't choose the specific tone it sings—each press simply plays the next note—it’s still enjoyable to play with. The toy allows you to mimic vibrato and change the octave, adding a bit of flair to the melodies. Compact and easy to carry around, it's perfect for taking with you wherever you go. The sound isn't very loud, but it's sufficient for those nearby to enjoy. Overall, this cute little toy is a fun addition to any collection and is unlikely to disappoint.

What are otamatones? They are Japanese toys that look a bit like a saxophone but with some huge differences. The first is the "mouth" at the bottom. This pliable section of the instrument is like a mouth and as you open it the sound coming out changes in tone.This tiny otamatone is your introduction into these hilarious and unique instruments. This one only plays 11 songs whereas the larger ones have a fretless board that plays a range of notes and allow slides/bends. The bigger units also allow more expression with the "mouth".These things sound hilarious and this one being small, it comes with a keychain so you can bring it everywhere. It's suited for ages 3 and up and is a lot of fun.Beware, you may end up collecting multiple larger units once you try these.

I have always watched videos about this adorable musical device/toy and i always wanted to try it out.Although this is a mini size one but its very cute/adorable and now its a part of my pack-back.I like the selection of tunes , you can change octave of tunes (3 available)And also play the same tune and control the sound a little bit by squashing the toy mouth.Overall great toy and works as a prefect gift too

While not as featured as the full size one, it is surprisingly adorable and makes a great addition to my backpack decor.I like the little selection of tunes it has, selecting and playing them is pretty easy, and the mouth moves the same way it would on the full size model.Build quality is great as well, the little keychain ring is thick and should last through a good amount of use, even on a kids backpack, the use of a standard coin cell battery is nice as well.Overall I don't have any complaints, it's cute, well made and does what it claims, I would gladly recommend it

Got it for our 5 yr old. He loves it. Didn't want to buy the big one yet (as he tends to be rough with toys) so this was a good test run. And it is super cute. Would make a great to care packages or as a gift to go with a bag. Would definitely recommend

I started off as a person that has never played a musical instrument. Now after a week of playing this, I can play almost all musical instruments. I'm now a concert ukulele player, with sold out crowds.

My grandchildren loved them. Not too loud, easy for a beginner. I gave as gift to 4 and 6 year olds. They were a hit. Something different for musical people!

It is good for a toddler. I bought it for my 6year old and it was absolutely not what I expected size wise. I based it off the picture instead of reading the measurements and that was my fault. I feel that it should be a bit cheaper but my kid love it so it was worth the purchase.
