Deluxe White : Very fun instrument and unique sound

The initial reason I got the Otamatone, was to try it out for my instrumental electronic productions. Something like having a talkbox sound or an interesting replacement of having no vocals.

Although it's hard to be played seriously, it's really expressive and offers quite a good range of sounds even for a professional recording/session.

It also does a great job being a music toy (as it was intended) that you can just pick up and make sounds in just a moment.

The handling is quite tricky but manageable with some practice. I only wish it had a few fret markings to give clues of what note you're about to play because the pitch distribution is sort of all over the place.
