Really cool

These are adorable musical instruments that my children saw while watching videos on how to play Theremin's. I ordered three for their 8th birthday & they came in basically blister packs with directions. They were easily removed from packaging & appear well made and easy for little hands to turn on & play with. By the end of the day, all 3 of my children had figured out how to play basic tunes using their Otamatone. They regularly play with this by themselves & will play together with them as well. They have a blast making the instruments "Play" together & "Sing" to each other. They have had these for going on 8months now & they are still going strong and in one piece! These make a unique gift for the young or old and are easy to pick up musically!

The otamatone which shipped all the way from Japan was shipped quickly and safely. Upon arrival the quality of the product was unlike what i expected. The feel and build quality is nice with the only, but important complaint I have is the fingerboard, which is how the instrument is actually played. The fingerboard featured a wide range of pitches that are completely precise, unlike other "toy" instruments that are just a couple of buttons hidden behind a cover, allowing for total control of pitch. Due to the fingerboard being constructed this way, it was difficult for me to play the pitches as the fingerboard didn't respond unless I pushed it in a precise manner, not even reacting to my press if my finger wasn't positioned perfectly making performing the instrument more difficult than needed. (Although i am sure that as i practice the otamatone more i will become accustomed to the precision needed to play) Overall I am more than content with this product and would without a doubt recommend this to anyone with a musical background that desires to be a one-of-a-kind performer.

Bought it for the meme. This one is meant for kids which i didn't know so its kinda super small. Its super hard for me to navigate through the keys because I don't have the hands of a 10 year old but yet I still have the height of one. Super great product, lost all of my friends because i never stopped playing it which I was expecting to do. I'm probably going to buy a bigger one in the future, maybe I'll give this one away to a child to a family I hate at some point. I've been practicing the Mii theme music and Despacito for quite sometime now and I notice that its also kinda flimsy so I'm hoping i don't meme too hard and break it in half. other than that its a great buy if your a part time meme and musician.

This thing is fun. It has settings for loud and regular volume. It also has a high pitch setting and a lower pitch setting. It can be used more quiet but if you squeeze the mouth it gets louder.
My only issue is not with the product but myself and that is when I forget to put the actual setting to off. If you don't remember to actually turn it off like any normal electronics device then the battery will drain super fast. I usually use rechargeable batteries for this reason.
It is sturdy and the face is nade of like a silicon so you can squeeze it.
