Otamatone

I saw this interesting musical instrument in the video by Michael Hearst that i posted yesterday. I thought that it was worth some additional investigation.

This video gives you a pretty good idea of the possibilities:







Here's another video (in Japanese) which shows all of the possibilities:





And this one is my all time favorite video:





Sells for about $35 US
