Many can play, but only few can master

my husband got me an otamatone for my birthday because i wouldn't shut up about them, thank god somebody out here has advice on how to play it. i haven't learned how to play an instrument since piano like ten years ago. also i am obsessed with otamatone covers so you bet i'm subscribing

[@fairycatyt]

I won't shut up about them either lmao

Amazon is fun

Tip: If you are looking to get your first one, go with the Deluxe. That small one is so hard to play and is frustrating becuase of the narrow thing whatever you call it.

[@Dog-ml2rh]

Thanks I was wondering 😊

[@avacado221]

Thank you I'll ask for my b-day 🎉

[@supersaga24-f3k]

I got a small one cuz it's all I could afford

[@justahuman9273]

Dude... Your voice is soooo good! I mean, you talk in a way that is so healthy and great for singing!! I take voice lessons (for years now) and i still have to adjust my way of speaking a lot! Maybe you are just a natural, but maybe you also do some things on purpose. Either way! It's impressive to me. Will check out your songs. 😊 And thanks for the tips!! I wanna buy an Otamatone. Preferably a deluxe... But.. they are so expensive! 🙉

[@GoIdheart]

The second and third screwholes are one full C-octave on a deluxe Otamatone. It's pretty easy to determine the notes there.

[@EzraPage]

Thats so helpful

[@MilkPoperson]

Oh thanks for the tip, I'm starting learning to play my oto and your channel are helping a lot :)

[@therowanskye]

HYPE!!!! I hope this was somewhat, maybe, kinda, sorta, useful for you. I know this might seem pretty obvious, but I thought it would be worth sharing around :)

[@hollowcrusader2106]

I'm grateful that my comment reminded you thanks for making a video on the subject!💖

[@Rumcajs_TL]

I wouldn’t call that cheating, it’s an old trick to help learning on any fretless neck, I used it on violin and double bass. Once you get to certain level you get that into your muscle memory anyway. You still need to place your fingers perfectly, so not really like frets on a guitar. I know a real cheating trick😁, have you tried playing with autotune?😜

[@Sancho_Retablez]

5:13 I don't know if somebody has commented it yet , but... Instead of cutting more than one pieces of adhesive tape, how about cutting a single long one, fixing it along the neck beside the touch stripe and writing marks and even notes with a marker? You could even keep that long strip, scan it or take it to a print shop to get make adhesives with gloss finish to allow more ease sliding in the touchstrip.

[@Hecatonicosachoron54]

Thats what I did, very poorly but it still helps 😂

[@DietBroccoli]

Video starts at 2:40, but honestly don't bother because it's an unstructured, rambling mess. The entire thing can be condensed to the following sentence: "Mark the side of the otamatone with tape, as a beginner might on a violin, to create anchor points for notes you've found with either a tuner or by pitch matching." Enjoy the 8 minutes you've just saved.

[@garfieldslippers]

Wish I'd scrolled down to the comments before watching the video! (I don't like to say these kinds of things about people but this guy seems to have his head a bit too far up his behind for my liking...)

[@Owen221]

yea. he really likes cutting close to his face and interrupting himself.

[@scribblecloud]

thank you so much

[@leinadhaqiq7588]

Would be easier to just use one single lone strip of tape, and then mark with a marker on the tape where the notes are. You can even write out the note next to the line if you want

[@sarenswiftfoot9811]

I was planning on doing this anyway but once you said stickers I stopped the video to get some cute little puffy heart stickers that matched the colors of my Otomatone. Now it's perfect!

[@miserylovescookies8742]

I used fish stickers to label the otamatone lol

[@therowanskye]

It would mean the world to me if you would pre-save my new EP 'Sun & Rain, Love & Shame' Love you all! Thank you so much! (Also, One Guy 60 more voices is on the way within the next week! I'll put the links in this comment!) distrokid.com/hyperfollow/rowanskye/sun--rain-love--shame-ep

[@ravensblog]

so ive been currently looking into the otamatone and my fiancé got me one for my birthday this year ive been told i can "sing" but i doubt it so im learning this to prove to myself that i am at least in someway or form musically inclined

[@brucecarter5689]

Just stumbled across your channel. Hope you grow fast! You clearly have the personality for youtube :)

[@KhronixTCC]

Didnt know you are from seattle my dude! Thanks for the tips on the Oto!

[@markeymalarkey7614]

Loved the vid and have a question, I just got a otamatone and whenever I squeeze the head, it make a loud plastic “swish” sound. Is that how they all sound?

[@therowanskye]

hmm... I think so! :) When I open mine, it makes a similar sound.

[@littleworm1144]

Theres these things inside the mouth that squish close together when you squeeze it amd thats what makes the sound

[@wateryoasis5546]

Thanks for the advice i REALLY want an otamatone for my birthday (it’s in about a month) so I’m learning how to play them , also question: how long (or if you have to charge it) until the otamatone is full battery for a deluxe one?

[@wateryoasis5546]

Also how many times do you need to clean your otamatone?

[@onii982]

you don’t charge them, you use batteries

[@wateryoasis5546]

[@therowanskye]

:) Yeah you should get one for sure! They are so fun and cute

[@amy-ge3pp]

Rowan Skye i ordered it yesterday 🤭 it’s supposed to be here on the 3rd :))

[@vitaliarmonica]

In chromatic harmonicas they put a number above each hole. Not too useful because you can't see them while playing, but it helps for other reasons.

[@Jprxtzel]

Instructions unclear otamotone broke up with me and left my house

[@professoryeetus8955]

noooo i was gonna make this comment 😭

[@laffyraffy407]

You know, I think I have perfect pitch? I have no musical knowledge so I don't know notes or anything, but it's really easy for me to sing songs after hearing them like once or twice. I BS'd my way through chorus in high school by just listening to the songs and learning them that way bc learning to read sheet music was just. Impossible for me.

[@therowanskye]

I bet you do too based on what you told me! Even though I am classically trained, I do not like to read sheet music at all haha

[@fun4angelsnow]

Cool just got one to see how and is fun 🤩

[@anobody4649]

Okay my otamatone is different because when I’m on mid some of my notes are like in the middle instead of them being at the top like yours or near the bottom when they are supposed to be like in the middle

[@Zaakro]

They are not all tuned the same. My top note is D and it is supposed to be E.

[@TJL004]

How do i do this without piano

I mean that you can use a piano to find the exact notes and pitch match them. From there, you can mark it with tape :)
