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!
