Interesting toy. It was a challenge to figure out the exact spots on the neck to tune the notes, but fun, nonetheless.
I’d give it 5 stars, but when a couple friends and I tried to play Greensleeves, like in the product demo, a rift opened up between us and released the four horsemen of the apocalypse. 4/5 Fun toy, but brought the End Times >:( 0

I bought an Otamatone after stumbling on a YouTube video in which one was being played. It fascinated me, and I immediately clicked over to Amazon to buy one. I’ve had an awesome, fun time with it ever since.
The tone is generated on a touchpad along the neck of the instrument. By squeezing the “cheeks” of the face at the bottom of the Otamatone, a “wah-wah” effect can be produced. Because the touchpad produces a variable tone range – think “trombone” or one of those tin whistles with the slide – it can be kind of challenging to hit the right notes until you really get used to it. Unlike many musical toys, you will have to devote some time and attention to an Otamatone before you can start producing anything that sounds decent. That’s probably why one reviewer called it “an expensive toy” that couldn’t make “real” music. Anyway, my friends and I have had a great time with the Otamatone, jamming along with the radio and using it as a ridiculous extra instrument in the band. Is it a serious musical instrument? HELL NO. Is it loads of fun after you’ve put some time into getting used to it? HELL YES. 0

My brother and I saw this on youtube and laughed for hours, so I bought him one for his 30th birthday. We play it all the time! Might buy another one.
