Otamatone

For a person who will learn one ridiculous song and then refuse to put it down.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

A Japanese note-shaped instrument. Slide a finger along the stem for the pitch, and squeeze the mouth for the wobble.

Three reasons

  1. Pitch is a slide, not a key, so every note is a little bit of aiming.
  2. The mouth adds vibrato. That is the face doing musical work.
  3. The link is the white standard model, not a character and not a bundle with a stand.
