OTAMATONE DIGITAL

he Otamatone is an electronic musical instrument developed in Japan by the Cube Works Company along with Maywa Denki, an art group consisting of the brothers Masamichi and Nobumichi Tosa. It is a singing toy whose body is shaped like an eighth note, with sound emerging from a "mouth" on the notehead. It requires two hands to play: while one hand holds and squeezes the "head", the other hand controls the pitch of the tune by placing the finger on a bar on the stem; a higher position on the stem creates a lower sound. Varying the pressure on the head (thereby opening and closing the "mouth" of the instrument) creates a wah-wah effect, and shaking the neck (and thereby slightly changing pressure on the head) creates a vibrato effect. Switches on the back of the head allow users to change octave, turn it off or on, or change the volume.
