## Description

What is Ottamatone? Otamatone is a cute, fun and fun electronic toy characterised by its eighth shaping body, adorable moving mouth and silly, buzzing and funny fancy 'voice'. Developed by the design company Maywa Denki, it was released in Japan in 2009 and has since become the country's best-selling musical toy. Innovative, unique and popular toy worldwide. Otamatone has won high praise among fans and the toy industry alike, including the big Japanese Toy Award of the Japan Toy Association in their Toy Department "High Target". How does it work? You don't have to be a professional musician to have fun with the Otamatone - everyone can get started. Play any melody you like by pushing your fingers onto the stem. Shake the Otamatone while playing for Vibratos and create a 'Wah Wa' effect by pressing the cheeks of the Otamatone to leave the mouth open and closed. The switches on the back of the head allow you to change octaves, control the volume and turn the Otamatone on and off to extend the life of the battery. About Otamatone Japan Otamatone was born in Japan. So why not wear Kabuki, Ninja or Lucky Cat clothes? The first Otamatone with a two-tone body carries the model name on his flag in Japanese Kanji characters. With Fuji and traditional Japanese paper patterns inspire package design. Functions and size are similar to the standard Otamatone. Perfect gift for children, teenagers 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 around the world. A fun gift or joke, and the smaller, keychain-sized Otamatone melody for younger children is also a charming party gift. Note: Due to differences in monitor settings, the actual colours may differ slightly from the colours shown online.

Review: Fun vibrant instrument. - Lovely otamatone/ otomotone. Original Japanese packaging all arrived in great condition. Instructions are in Japanese but Google translate on my phone made short work of those, and to be honest it's pretty self explanatory anyway. Batteries included and ready to have some fun making music. Design looks great too.
Review: My neighbours hate me - A little tricky to get the hang of, getting a smooth, loud, ear-splitting tone without crackling and juddering requires a bit of practice. Brings me back to when I was 7 and my parents foolishly bought me a tin whistle when they went to Ireland.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun vibrant instrument.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My neighbours hate me
*by H***. on 5 July 2020*

A little tricky to get the hang of, getting a smooth, loud, ear-splitting tone without crackling and juddering requires a bit of practice. Brings me back to when I was 7 and my parents foolishly bought me a tin whistle when they went to Ireland.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Quirky fun little item but not very responsive inconsistent results
*by C***L on 20 April 2020*

My young daughter loves it but its not something you could attempt to play as the sensitivity of it is poor. you have to push very hard and even then it often doesnt play the tones. I have seen videos where people slide a finger up and down, but that simply doesn't work with ours. Either we have one from a poor batch or the mini ones are just a novelty item.
