If you like unicorns and creativity, this has your name written all over.

I got this for my 7 yo niece's birthday, and I think it will be the best gift. First it's a unicorn, second it makes noise, third you can do creative things with it. I wanted to install batteries before packing it. Takes 3xAAA. It's kind of like a slide whistle. Played around with it for a few minutes. It is fun!! I don't buy kids' birthday presents that cost more than $20-25 by principle, and the price fits. Definitely a great creative little toy that will annoy the birthday girl's parents for a long time.

Happy Sister

Little sis did an ensemble with her friends at band camp. They had a blast working together and making up silly songs with these!

Quality made instrument

As ordered cute color scheme it's sound is automaton as described. Do not order if your not in a musical family and use to weird sounds it could be described as annoying if not ready for the sound or quite unique as the name .many different tones and"notes" it can produce with practice

Super Fun! One small imperfection

Since this is a toy and not exactly a musical instrument, I will give the product 5 stars instead of 4. The Otamatone I received was as described and all of the functionalities work perfectly. The ONLY issue I have is that sometimes the fretboard (for lack of a better term, I’m referring to the black part you press to create notes/sound) is unresponsive if you don’t apply enough pressure. Also, don’t be discouraged when putting batteries in. It’s a tight squeeze but it will work :)

Adorable face, adorable yet annoying sound

I'm in love with this thing. It's a little difficult to gauge the placement of the notes at first, but it's pretty easy to go from there. If you already have experience with string instruments, then figuring this thing out should be a breeze.

Cheaply made but fun

This was great for a child but is kind of cheap for the price. I wouldn't recommend this for a small child because it's very easy to break. If it was $10 I wouldn't care. Overall this thing is kinda cool and fun.

Super fun

Grand daughter loves it, annoys the heck out of my daughter. Better than a drum kit greatest thing ever.

Great, unique product

This gift was a winner with my niece. She loves it :)

11 year old loves it

I never heard of these but my 11 year old wanted one for Christmas. She loves it and has learned to play some songs. It does make the funniest noise. And I do have to ask her on occasion to take it to the other room. Lol

This is my new favorite thing. It annoys everyone around me

This is my new favorite thing. It annoys everyone around me, unless I let them play with it, then they love it too. Addictive. Even my 4yo can play with it and he is a terrible musician. My cats think I’m a demon. Just look at some YouTube videos with otamatone covers of songs and you will see why this is such a delight.
