This Fun Instrument Is Unique and Simple to Learn

 Disclosure: I received product to review for my own personal opinion.

Otamatone is so fun and simple to use. I’ve never played an instrument and was able to play simple songs quickly. I love that there are unique characters available, like Hello Kitty and Kirby. This is a fun and unique gift to give to someone or yourself!

Shaped as a friendly musical note, the amusing gift for violinists and other musicians adds levity to what can sometimes be an stress-filled season.
