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 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.

I thought to myself 'why not buy the most annoying instrument that I can find?'. What better than an otamatone. I mean, look at it, how could you not buy it (it doesn't come with the moustache hahaha). This is probably the weirdest item I've ever bought impulsively but I love it to bits. I've had it for a few months now and I haven't had any problems with it so far, I mean, moving the mouth can get a bit squeaky but you get used to it. The size of the deluxe version also feels very nice to hold and you can just run around playing 'Careless Whisper' on it. The good thing is that I can turn the volume right down so that I don't annoy people when I'm practicing. It's a very funny instrument and if you're looking for a new hobby or a gift for someone, this is easily one of my recommendations.
