Otamatone Deluxe Japanese Musical Instrument Portable Music Synthesizer from Japan by Maywa Denki Studio Award Winning, Educational Fun Gift for Children, Teens & Adults – Kirby (English Manual)

WHAT IS OTAMATONE? The Otamatone is a cute, quirky, and fun to play electronic musical instrument 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 instrument ever since. Innovative, unique, and now a popular worldwide, the Otamatone has earned high praise from fans and the electronic musical industry alike, including the Japan Association’s grand prize Japanese Award in their ‘High Target’ 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 DELUXE The Otamatone Deluxe is an upgraded version of the original, featuring a larger size, a more responsive stem for easier playing, both pitch and volume control, and a 3.5mm jack for headphones and speakers. PERFECT GIFT FOR ADULTS! Great as a Christmas or birthday gift for any music learner, 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 early music learners makes an adorable party favor too!
