Kind of small
I got this for my 22 year old boyfriend who loves guitar and making music. He was so excited about it because it is funny but actually still a cool toy. My only complaint is that it is kind of small. I should have gotten the bigger one but it was significantly more expensive. I think that it could also have a wider volume range too. It doesn’t get very loud but honestly the noise it makes are pretty annoying so maybe that’s ok.

Creatively imaginative
Constantly buy musical inspiration for my great nephews hoping to trigger enthusiasm. They enjoyed these. A high quality and imaginative product…
Not what I expected. The tummy control band could have use better material. Fabric is thin and cheap. –
Worst instrument ever
My son was exposed to this content online sap he begged me to get one. Never again. Itâs has this obnoxious sound! worse than a air hornâ! Itâs not easy to play. It seems as tho kids play it like a piano/guitar. Well itâs none of that. Itâs digital and it doesnât work most of the time when you press the notes. The exterior part of the instrument i has a plastic face. Well little did I kno itâs removable and kids will lose it ð As a mother I should kno better. I give it two becausey som was happy he got it out of his system And experienced it.

Small and quiet
Son loves it but it is way smaller and very quiet. Still is just what he wanted!

Sehr witziges Instrument. Mein Sohn 19 Jahre alt, ist begeisterter Musiker und spielt mehrere Instrumente.Wohlklingend ist dieses Instrument sicher Nicht :)..Aber als Spass Faktor ganz sicher eine tolle Sache.Er spielt tatsächlich ganze Songs die man sehr gut erkennen kann…FazitMit sehr viel musikalischen Talent klappen ganze Lieder… Als Show Einlage witzig..Der Preis für dieses Instrument finde ich ziemlich überteuert….Ich höre ihm lieber beim Klavier, Saxophon Akkordeon spielen zu.

This is advertized as the Deluxe edition, but it’s not. It’s the medium sized one that doesn’t have jacks for headphone and pedals and such. Would never have bought the middle size, it’s much harder to play and the sound isn’t as good.

Ottimo prodotto.Un gioco musicale che cmq è uno strumento a tutti gli effetti.Carina la carta con le indicazioni per le note per chi è alle prime armi con la musica.Molto delicato infatti secondo me non è indicato per i bambini piccoli.

First and foremost, the design is nothing short of adorable. Shaped like a musical note with a cute face and a sliding mouth, the Otomatone is as much a visual delight as it is an auditory one. It’s the kind of instrument that brings a smile to your face before you even start playing.Playing the Otomatone is an experience in itself. The sliding stem, which serves as the pitch control, allows for a wide range of notes. It takes a bit of practice to master, but that learning curve is part of the fun. The sound produced is surprisingly expressive, and with a bit of experimentation, you can mimic various instruments or create entirely unique tones.The Otomatone’s compact size adds to its appeal. It’s portable enough to take anywhere, turning any environment into a potential impromptu performance space. The battery life is impressive, providing hours of musical exploration before needing a refresh.One thing that pleasantly surprised me was the durability of the Otomatone. Despite its whimsical appearance, it feels well-built and capable of withstanding the playful handling it’s likely to encounter. The quality of materials used adds a layer of longevity that is reassuring, especially for an instrument that invites experimentation.While the Otomatone may not be the go-to choice for serious musicians, it excels in its ability to bring joy and creativity to music enthusiasts of all levels. It’s a fantastic gift for both children and adults, and it’s the perfect conversation starter for any gathering.
