## Description

What is an Otamatone? The Otamatone is a cute, quirky and entertaining electronic music toy that is characterised by its body in the shape of an eighth note, its adorable moving mouth and its silly, buzzing, amusing crooked "voice." It was developed by the design company Maywa Denki, first released in Japan in 2009 and has since been the best-selling music toy in the country. Innovative, unique and now a globally popular toy, the Otamatone has received great praise from both fans and the toy industry, including the Japanese Toy Association Grand Prize in its "High Target" toy department. How does it work? The Otamatone produces electronic tones that you can control based on the position of your finger on the touch-sensitive fingerboard. Use a switch on the back to select an octave, and move your fingers up and down to play different notes. Open the Otamatone mouth by pressing to change the tone from a buzz to an "ahh" and create a "wah wah wah " effect. The Otamatone is a perfect toy for lovers of anything sweet, silly and strange, and a great gag gift as well as a unique and amusing gift for violinists and other musicians. Size: 5 x 14 x 3 inches. Supported by normal: 3 AAA batteries (not included)
