Vu le prix je m’attendais à quelque chose de plus quali c’est tout plastique bas de gamme c’est plutôt un jouet pour enfant le ruban sur le manche me semble fragile à voir sur la durée

This musical instruments are awesome! We got the techno so we can plug it into a smart phone or tablet and use the sounds that they let us download and it sounds just like a flute or an electric guitar, and all the other instruments that come with!!! Great effects as well. People love it and want to check it out and play it! Careful because some people are a little rough if you get my meaning!!! This is not a cheap toy it is a very well designed and mad. Musical instrument!! Worth every penny! Be aware that you can do “simple” stuff out of the box, but there is quite a learning curve to get advanced!

My son loves music. This more of a toy than a real instrument. However, quality is good and he is having a lot of fun with it. Great gift for someone that enjoys music or mixing sounds.

The “instrument” itself is great. Hooking it up to an iPhone for more sounds is a bit hit and miss. If I had to do it again, I’d probably go with the deluxe version and save some $$

Die Otamatone kam gut verpackt und hatte absolut keine Schäden. Das Instrument ist recht schwer zu spielen, da einem nicht gezeigt wird, wo die Noten liegen, aber mit Übung schafft man das irgendwann. Die Töne klingen, wenn man sie richtig spielt, wirklich cool und relativ außergewöhnlich. Der Kopf sieht echt niedlich aus und es macht Spaß, damit die Dynamik der Klänge zu verändern. Bei dem Bewegen des Mundes erklingt ein metallischer Sound, der anfangs recht ungewohnt sein kann, aber wenn man sich daran gewöhnt, stört dieser kein bisschen. Ansonsten kann man ja einfach die Lautstärke der Töne erhöhen und das metallische Geräusch somit übertönen.Der Lautstärkeregler ist super, man kann sehr präzise die Tondynamik einstellen und somit auch leise üben, wenn man gerade keine Kopfhörer zur Verfügung hat. Einschalten tut man die Otamatone übrigens, indem man den Lautstärkeregler bis auf einen bestimmten Punkt dreht. Dass sie eingeschaltet ist, wird einem dann durch ein kleines Klicken und ein nun rot glühendes Lämpchen symbolisiert. Ein wenig störend ist, dass die Halter an der Otamatone für das Band zum Umhängen leider ein wenig klappern, aber auch dies ist auf Dauer relativ irrelevant. Es gibt relativ viele Töne, aber wenn einem das noch nicht reicht, kann man hinten an der Otamatone zwischen Low, Medium, oder High umstellen.Zu guter letzt möchte ich noch vor etwas warnen: Man kann die Otamatone mit Synthesizern und Handys mit entsprechenden, dafür entwickelten, Apps verbinden (über ein Kabel, das mit versandt wird) und somit noch mehr die Klänge verändern. Dies ist zwar nicht negativ, aber nun zur erwähnten Warnung:Das Verwenden dieser Apps ist nur mit einem iPhone möglich!!Schade für alle Android Nutzer, aber da ich leider diese Erfahrung machen musste, da ich nicht gut genug informiert war, möchte ich dies anderen Leuten ersparen.Alles in allem macht es aber sehr viel Spaß, dieses Instrument zu spielen und auch einfach nur, um seine Familie absichtlich zu nerven, wenn man hinter ihnen her läuft und willkürlich schiefe Töne spielt :pAchtung vor den Höhen Tönen dieses Geräts, sie gehen schockierend hoch!

Warning:This product works like a deluxe version, not a techno (being able to work with apps on phone). Don’t buy for that feature cause it doesn’t work. Also, the seller, Japanese samurai is impossible to work with. They are not helpful in any way and don’t resolve the issues. Way too pricey for what you are gonna get.

My son loves making music and has been playing drums for 6 years. Recently I have noticed how much he enjoys making music using other instruments. When he asked for this for Christmas I thought it was an expensive toy, but he really really wanted it. I am so glad I got it, much better than the "toy" I thought I was getting. He loves it and has had a ton of fun creating unusual music. I love that he's having fun and being creative.

This thing is great but there is almost no guidance or instructions (both with the product and on the web in general) as to how to get this thing to work with third party apps or troubleshoot it in general. The product comes with all Japanese packaging and instructions, but you can find relatively unhelpful broken English versions online. For others having the same problems I was having with third party apps, it's most likely a setting or option within the apps themselves, which are not specifically made to be used with the OT (and YES FYI it works with iPhone X with lighting adapter or older iPhone with 3.5mm jacks - but from what I can gather online does not work with Android phones). In ThumbJam in particular, there is a button with a little red record icon (below the b# button) where you can "link" it with your Otamatone and get it to act as a controller. It's a little glitchy and not perfect by any means, but SUPER FUN to mess around with and really was the whole reason I got the thing (to shred flute / sax / electric guitar / synth sounds in addition to the OT native sound). Still very surprised how little info there is online on this, other than some fragmented Reddit posts and comments on YouTube videos. A lot of people complain of their OTs glitching out or breaking, but I wonder if it's just due to bad directions or not knowing how to use it with 3rd party apps given the complete dearth of info on the web on how to troubleshoot. So in sum, it's the fun, quirky obnoxious thing that it's meant to be, with the ability to use some third party apps if you can fiddle with them long enough to figure out how to get them to work with the OT. The fact that it's so strange/mysterious and there's no info on it is, I suppose, what makes it so unique and endearing. So it's far from perfect but not meant to be - you can get it working if you have some patience and will definitely put a smile on your face. I never write reviews but wanted to get this out there to help others who are trying to get some info on this crazy thing. Enjoy!
