5.0 out of 5 stars It's fun to use to anoy others as well as giving myself serotonin.

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.

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!

I bought this for my partner as a gift so he could annoy me with its unique sound. So far, so good. It's a lot bigger than I expected, and it took us a while to get use to how hard to press and stuff. It is very nice that you can adjust between low, medium, and high octaves (beware that if you have pets, my dog and my cat both HATE the highest notes). It's definitely possible to legitimately play music on this, it just sounds weird because it's not really imitating another instrument. It came with extensive instructions and tips, but they were all in Japanese (which I can read but not everyone can). Even if you can't read the instructions, though, it's pretty self-explanatory once you're actually holding the device.

I’m not sure what it is, my kids asked for it so I bought it for them. Makes a wahwah sound ???? looks cute. If this is what you want you should buy it. And if your kids want it it’s not very loud. It a perfect instrument that’s not too loud! It’s like a having a pet hamster, only better.

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021
This music toy is fun to play with, but it is somewhat hard to make pitch changes with because you have to press your finger fairly firmly in order to produce the sound. Also, it is not a very sturdy toy because ours quit working with just a normal amount of play with it after several months. It should be made sturdier, especially if children can play with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly well made
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2014
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.
