Kirby Otamatone Synthesizer

$72 (was $90)

The Otamatone is a unique synthesizer with a very distinct sound. It’s shaped like a musical note, and in this case, it’s painted to look like Kirby. You play the instrument by sliding your finger into different positions on its neck, while opening Kirby’s mouth will alter the sound. The instrument is also built with a 3.5mm jack, allowing you to connect it to headphones or speakers. It’s a quirky gadget--and it might take some time to master--but just about anyone should be able to pick it up and have fun with its charming sounds.

The Deluxe edition includes an exclusive Kirby Strap to help you find a comfortable playing position and an instruction manual to teach you the basics. The keychain edition isn’t quite as elaborate as the other two models, as you’ll just be pressing a button to the rhythm to make one of its many songs play. But at $19, it makes a great gift for kids who are interested in musical instruments, teaching them the basics of beat and rhythm. It also has a metal loop to attach it to a keychain or backpack.

Don’t expect to pick these up and start playing songs like an expert right away--even though it looks adorable, the Otamatone is a legitimate musical instrument. If you want some help, consider pairing your Otamatone with the book, How to Play the Otamatone for Beginners, which walks you through everything you need to know to start growing your skills.
