## Description

WHAT IS OTAMATONE?The Otamatone is a cute, quirky, and fun to play electronic musical toy characterized by its eighth note-shaped body, adorable moving mouth, and silly, buzzing, amusingly off-key "voice." Developed by design firm Maywa Denki, it was first released in Japan in 2009 and has been the country's best-selling musical toy ever since. Innovative, unique, and now a popular toy worldwide, the Otamatone has earned high praise from fans and the toy industry alike, including the Japan Toy Association's grand prize Japanese Toy Award in their 'High Target' toy division.HOW DOES IT WORK?You don't need to be a professional musician to have fun with the Otamatone - anyone can get the hang of it! Play any tune you like by sliding fingers up and down on the stem. Shake the Otamatone while playing for vibrato and create a "wah-wah" effect by squeezing the Otamatone's cheeks to make it's mouth open and close. Switches on the back of the head allow you to switch octaves, control the volume, and turn the Otamatone on and off to preserve battery life.ABOUT OTAMATONE TECHNOConnect a smartphone and change your sound with this upgrade of the Otamatone Deluxe and the new OTM Link feature! Our app gives you tons of possibilities! A 3.5mm stereo jack for speaker and headphone output has been added as well. And thanks to a DC jack you can now use an AC adapter and never need to worry about battery life anymore. Functions and size are similar to the Otamatone Deluxe.PERFECT GIFT FOR KIDS, TEENS, AND ADULTS!Great as a Christmas or birthday gift for any child, music lover, or anyone who wants to have fun making cute, silly songs on the world's weirdest musical instrument! Makes a hilarious joke or gag gift, and the smaller, keychain-sized Otamatone Melody designed for younger kids makes an adorable party favor too!

Review: My grandchild and his mates thought it was really fun
Review: 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!

**Q: I see that it can take a 5v ac adapter.  does it come with one?  if not, is there a recommended adapter for this?**
A: According to a combination of the text description of this product and from the stock photos, it indicates that this does NOT include a power adapter.
