It was a good video but I don’t need help tone matching I need help with the fact that this thing knows every pitch along with all it’s brothers and sisters in between so hand placement is definitely key.
Lol get it?
Now i can learn otamatone :)
All hail the otamat god
I think Bach would be really happy to see how far musical instruments have progressed in 300 years
I plan to play my otamatone at Bach’s annual birthday celebration.

*Hello there*
Glad my 13 years of classical viola lessons will have a practical real world application
HAHA!! :)
VIOLAS SUCK STAN VIOLIN
@@pepperonisoda7157 as someone named viola who played the violin people always say "Oh you play violin! Why don't you play the viola? it's just like your name!" Years of that unfunny joke have made me hate the viola
Aster Lebitz-Braden same but with a violin
I have been playing a viola for 4 years
My Otomatone just got to my house today his name is Tommy and he is my best friend
Bill Wilkens um it’s otamatone not otomatone
@@DeductedSpy thank you very cool
This is nice
This is wholesome
Dude mines named Otis
My otamatone is brown so I’m gonna call him obamatone
awww! That's awesome!
underrated comment
*dies of laughter*
Rowan Skye I raise you: Barak Otama
Jonah Reed hahaha
“It’s... it’s...It’s an otamatone”
Ah yes, the floor here is made out of floor
I’m going to go and pester my mother with videos of these be right back
hahah!!!! YEESSS~~
I'm so sorry that I am so bad at replying!!!! I love you all i promise!
Ok!
@@tfr ok
Now that I know I can plug it into an amp... my neighbors will hate me
oh do it do it do it!!!! I would love to see your video of that! Send me a video if you do that!
WAHH
Parents: "what instrument do you play"
Y/N: "it's complicated."
You, with your godly tone matching skills, should make a music note sheet for the otamatone for us peasants
@RandomMarcus of course I've heard of him, hes a god in this community lol
R u talking bout the big sully g
for the original Otamatone, it comes with one in the packet! (er, sorry for the reply a year later.)
@@Okuajub another year later reply… i didn’t get a note sheet in mine? i think i got the techno? it’s the rlly big one
So it’s just an oddly shaped synthesizer
exactly!
I love this. My friend gave one to me today as a going away gift and I love him. His name is Gilbert and he will accompany me in whatever journey I choose.
EDIT: my friend is pretty cool too
You should ask him out 👀
He is a boyfriend material hahaha
Friend zone
So, technically an Otamatone is a Electric Japanese styled Cello...?
Interesting
I was gonna buy a pc but now
Fuck that
it's actually a synthesizer
I plan on getting one for Christmas
same
Same lol
Me took
Am getting one on Monday
Mine arrived but my parents are waiting for Christmas to give it to me.
An Otamatone is actually a Synthesizer
BillieEyelashes Bruh billie
We were all having a good day...
shhhhh
Sundown_23 stfu
Shhhhhhh just let us be dumb and happy
"I keep it in the middle cause these things can actually kinda wail."
Otomatone: "doooot"
I've been interested in an otamatone and when he said that it was super hard I was a little bummed but when he said "I'm a cellist" I was like HAAH YEESS!!! Cuz luckily im a cellist and now I'm even MORE interested in one!!
Imma cellist, yay!
As a bassist I feel like I’ve been training for this for my whole life
I love my otamatone. By the way, Tama in Japanese means ball and the o in the front adds politeness. The word Kendama actually means sword ball since katana is also pronounced as ken like in kendo. The way of the sword. It is fun to learn about language. It is super fun to learn music. Music is a super fun language. \m/ :)
We need this instrument to be officially played in a god damn orchestra
Soken is your man
Hell yeah! A full orchestra of otamatones. I can already imagine the fancy dancy expensive high-quality otamatones and everyone in suits being super serious and professional. All those little otamatone faces looking at the conductor waiting to open their chubby mouths and singing perfectly in tune and harmonized with the other otamatone sections. I’d pay to see that.
I would buy one just to be a part of this experience. I expect it would be like watching a train wreck with a train full of babies. You know it would be horrific, but are you going to not watch it over and over? If it actually turns out even half way decent it would be epic to watch.
@@vanessayan3684 it exists...
As a Violinist this came easier to me but this helped my friends a lot, now we can play Covers together
I love these things. If you're interested, skip the basic model (the smaller one shown here); it barely works. If you can't afford the Deluxe or Techno, go with the Neo. It's a little more expensive than the base model, but it works SO MUCH BETTER
I ordered one in quarintine and I'm gonna practice because I have so much time now
Awesome!!
I don't have the big ones I have the small ones from japan but I still love my bob ross and miku
Badooooor
Why not put stickers on the side that way you can see what notes are where?
A really good idea that I have thought about. Good suggestion! I will have to mention that in another video
Yea I thought that at the beginning of the video
Good idea
I did that amazing idea
Hey there! Thanks again for watching. You all are the best. You know what would be pretty cool? Yeah, streaming my new song! So be sure to do that ♥♥

Also, if you want to have your question featured in my 10k Q&A, be sure to DM on Instagram @therowanskye with your question!
ILU all!
Woah instead of a check mark you have otamatone.
Can you make an avengers theme with you otamatone
And send your otamatone not all of them i am gonna play the super idol theme
45 seconds into the video... and I’m buying one
Oh my GOD! I can’t wait to hook it up to my amp with gain on 11 and reverb, delay, phaser, and a chorus this is going to be fantastic
i know literally nothing about music and can only play the kazoo. But this feels like an instrument i should learn how to play so i can add it to my list of silly things i do
Was it easy or not too hard to learn. i wanna learn 😂 it looks fun but i have zero musical skill
i've played standing bass for years and this guy. this little plastic wailing guy. he is a whole new world.
1:50 WHY WOULD I NOT CARE ABOUT YOU HAVING A MUSICAL HISTORY!?! that’s really cool to hear! I’ve always loved music, and my favorite instrument is the Piano! Also, don’t ever doubt yourself man! Do whatever, be whoever, and follow what you love!
I just purchase my first otamatone and this really helped thanks!
super great! Using the fixed hand position and shifting that is a great insight with your background as a cello player. I hadn't thought of that
Thank you. My boyfriend bought me my Otamatone last night on Christmas Eve. So I'm trying to learn and this helped me.
is it just me or is his otamatone huge
it's the techno
Thank you for this! I’m getting an otamatone and this really helps me get prepared for what I need to know
Thank you for this!!! My 7yr old wanted a theramine for his upcoming birthday and it's a little out of my budget, but I think an otamatone will be a great substitution!!!
...i want to say I sincerely appreciate your explanation of the device[ lol; did not take the time to even learn the name of the o-tome, however]...you got me at the sub-conscious, while I myself such at music play...i fine the cello to be a devine orchestral beauty...particularly her wailing: shares a story of both love hate joy sorrow confusion certainty sad and happiness...to those patient enough to truly listen. So don't ever feel your efforts was waste in REGUARDS to the o-tome...i wanted to know and you explain: PURPOSE fullfill
I am incapable of playing any instrument except for the drums a little bit. I think trying this might be a good idea. It's technical enough to be "Real" music but easy enough to hold and manipulate if you think about it the right way.
Nice video!
hey thanks!
this was FABULOUS. i have a wee one. But now I want one in every size
Can see the cello vibrato coming in use 😂
I got this today for Christmas imma name him sasuke cause he’s blue
OMG SAMEEE
I HAVE A BLUE ONE TOO!
Getting my own soon! Thanks for the tips.
I just got my Otamatone. It’s a black regular and I’m having a lot of fun with it.
Are you guy’s crazy!! My nephew wants one for Christmas, but I can see him driving everybody NUTS!!
@ TRUEMOCRACY.ORG yup call me crazy. I have a feeling we will have all 4 different sizes at some point lol...bonding with my “one & only,” spending QT time with him. Idk it may just drive me bat sh*t. Yet so so worth it lol♥️
And that’s a BAD thing?
That would be with any instrument really. But it can be very rewarding.
2:44 the volume dial is only on the otamatone deluxe.The normal otamatone only has a 2 option volume dial just for ya information
Thank you for this! I just ordered one for my grandson, but had no earthly idea what it was - and im a musician for my living! Lol! (Now I need to get one too!)
Sending a hug from Las Vegas!
Just got mine, learning to play it isn't easy, this video helped, thanks for sharing!
Teacher: if u play an instrument ur in music class if u dont ur in drama set
so what do u play? asks the teacher
me: uh its hard to understand
hahaha i loved that!!!
Ah finally taking violin lessons since kindergarten will pay off
'Make it sound decently' is grammatically correct. The adverb 'decently' is modifying the verb 'sound'. You're good.
Excellent idea for your Otamatune
Time to throw out my bass and start to learn this piece of beauty
I just got one. I've only ever played piano so this is gonna be a ride.
I've already made an air raid siren. That's cool right?
thank you for this i just bought otamatone and im not familiar witg other instruments but this helped me a little to understand it
Looks like we're going to have to make a run for it. Good idea, Otamatone
as one with perfect pitch myself, the notes you played are approved as on point
Are the notes evenly distributed? If so it should be fairly easy to index them in whole notes and make some kind of easily identifiable notches, grooves, or holes on the side, as reference points. Could be done to simulate frets or simply to have the middle- or fix points, like on an accordion.
I got one today and I'm very excited
He is pink so he is kirby
Thanks for the info. I was gonna go for the small one, but the large one seems more playable.
Rowan: I've basically been playing cello since day 1.
Rowan: I've been playing cello for about 9 years.
Me: Holy shit... Rowan is a 9 year and 1 day old savage!!!
aaahhh hahhahaah :)
Please make more videos where we get to see you be yourself like this.
You have such a wonderful personality and strong presence! It would be a waste for you to limit yourself to only covers!
im about to order a kumamon otomatone so im going to watch this and take notes before it comes :3
I love your videos😀!❤️
Rowan Skye....Although different, the basics seem VERY like picking up a harmonic and just finding the notes..or is it harder than that?
I never played a musical instrument. So I think playing one of these will be hard for me to do.
Just quit violin and started piano and i also acquired one of these from my neighbor’s yard sale. the violin skills are translating very well to this and thanks for the tips as well!
Thinking of getting one, thanks for the information!
I got my otamatone today and it’s more difficult than I thought. I played clarinet and piano but I can’t tell were the flavin glavin notes are. Think the melodica would be easier.
My otamatone just arrived, his name is Liam and it is one of my best friends
awww that is adorableeee!!
@@therowanskye It really is
Just bought an otamatone, itx arriving in a week.
I can't wait
I confidently subscribed, then reached the end of the video where you're like, "well, this isn't what I normally do..." :O
Here's hoping I like your other content lol 🍾🥂
I just got one of the little ones and I’m very excited to start. Thanks for the tips 👍! I have also never touched a string instrument before in my life
Are u left or right handed
I’m right handed
you already know what i am
Down handed
this is great, thank you :)
Thanks 🙏
you play this? i thought it's like a blackpink light stick.. you play da song, otamatone plays it in his way
theres also another otamatone kegend called TheRealSullyG
True!
Exactly!
they are adorable!
I’m going to put it on my wish list
Got my otomatone today and im calling him steve
that is awesome!!
U don’t need perfect pitch to play this instrument lol
if you wanna play it good and in tune you do, you don’t need to be a MASTER of pitch but you need to have a sense of what’s in tune and what’s not
You don't but relative pitch sure helps, which anyone can develop
jada alexander you just said you do and then proceeded to describe what is exactly not perfect pitch.....
You don’t need perfect pitch to play it, but it may keep people from chasing you out of the room!
Got one for christmas so thanks
Contemplating on should i get one of these (i play classical piano & pop kalimba)
I got one for Christmas
Hey look its *_s p e e d w a g o n_*
the little baby ones look soooooo much cuter despite the fact that they basically look the same
That helped, thanks.
Just hooked mine up to a Strymon Timeline. Yep. Pretty much what you'd expect. Really gets good and creepy with that reverse phase shifting swell delay and whatever you want to throw in the wash. Thanks for the vid!
I ordered one but I feel like it's gonna be tiny haha
The larger one you've got seems to be much better quality and honestly looks sick. Can I ask where you bought it?
Yeah, honestly the bigger ones are a lot better in many ways. This one was from amazon if I remember correctly, :)
@@therowanskye thanks hehe
@@jacendesrochers3280 Of course! Anytime :)
“This is really hard to play.”
*me learning half of bad guy in a hour..*
@@furball876 I have small one
Wow your soooo impressive
I found this video very informative thank you so much
Thank you I must go and teach my daughter how to do these tricks
I really wanna play the devil went down to georgia in otomatone.
ahhhh! that would be great to learn!
Who else named their otomatone?
I called mine bob
Thx for the vid my family surprised me with a cute little otomatone for xmas and playing it is soo much fun 😁
Amazing video! So funny and fun. My son, Ryan Boggs, did a UA-cam video where he hacked some Otamatones to remotely control them by his hand-built Moog synthesizer to make a choir...im subscribing now and will check out more of your vids...love how you guys are so creative!
Have you heard of “TheRealSullyG” he’s done otamatone covers for over 100 songs
Thank you for sharing! Perfect pitch jealous lol, I want that talent! I have been trying to figure out which size and type to buy since my 10 yr old son told me he wanted one for Christmas 2 weeks ago. Phew Gotta get my amazon 2 day prime shipping hustle on like yesterday. So I’m hoping you have the chance to answer these questions, today. I can do appreciate a “tips & basics”, for a novice. Yes you are correct. If you have time to be jack off and leave negative comments. Indeed get to college, true productivity😉...okay 👌 that’s how you get a note in tone. My son plays percussion and the piano. Hell I can’t play a tune in a bucket🤷♀️....I’m sure he will be able to figure it out. Does it show where the notes are? Also I have a few questions for ya. Is the white one a deluxe version? what is the difference when it says English vs. Japanese version? What is the difference between the original version and the techno version if you know? Once again thanks a million!
Nice vibrato! 😄
私も買っちゃったオタマトーン🥰🥰🥰👍これから特訓します❣️
