  • The Otamatone Neo is the latest iteration of the beloved weird line-up of Japanese musical instruments by Maywa Denki, but is it worth upgrading from your original, and how does it compare to the bigger Otamatone Techno?

    LOOTd has once again made me want an Otamatone, whilst simultaneously never wanting to hear one for the rest of my life. I've come to the conclusion that Charles' charm and enthusiasm being directly inverse to his musical ability is the cause. It is absolutely brilliant! Thanks for making my day better!

    I personally got the Otamatone Neo was my first Otamatone. My friend has a generic Otamatone, and I've used it before. I have to say the Neo is much better, and that's coming from somebody who doesn't even use Otamalink. The slightly bigger size and easier to use stem makes it worth the purchase.

    Hi!
    How is the slide bar compared to the Otamatone classic? I've heard the classic doesn't really work too well and that's why it has a toy-ish feel to it. That rules the classic out for me.
    The deluxe costs around 80 Euro here and the Neo 45 Euro (the classic is around 30) - would you suggest to try out the Neo or go straight to the deluxe?

    I found a neo cheaper than the regular. The neo has a wider and more sensitive neck than the regular but I like how the regular is smaller and was inspired by the Spain Got Talent guy, Was wondering which is the better choice. Is the enhanced neck of Neo really better?

    Fun Facts:
    1) The batteries included with most gear are just good enough to make sure the product will turn on and allow the user to verify that the device operates, that there are no issues with the features. Don’t feel bad that you forgot they were in the box. A fresh set of alkaline cells will serve the user best.
    An aside: Alkaline batteries? That’s green irresponsible you say? When they offer a reasonably priced rechargeable that delivers the same 1.5 volts per AA or AAA cell (or 9 volts in the PP3 package), instead of the 1.2 volts that almost all Nicad, NiMH or Lithium cells offer (7.2-8.4 volts in the rechargeable PP3 “9 volt” type battery), then I’ll use them in my critical portable applications.
    2) Historically, when it comes to music gear, Android is Non-Apple Smart Phone & Tablet code for “Loser”. Just an observation and not meant to instill butt hurt. That’s just how it’s been.
