I bought a $3,000 Otamatone chords
Start Jamming...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
After over five months of waiting, [G] my Automaton Jumbo has [Gb] finally arrived from Japan.
This was custom made by the creator of the Automaton.
They [G] went through a lot of trouble making it, they [C] made one, decided it wasn't [Am] good
enough and made another [Gb] one, and it is finally [Am] here and I'm so excited.
Including [Ab] shipping, I spent roughly $3 [Am],500 on this thing.
Money I should [G] not be spending on Automatons.
[Am] But I did.
Because I'm an [D] idiot.
So I guess we just start cutting into this.
To be [Ab] fully honest, I do not know what to expect from [Eb] this.
Doesn't this make for great footage?
[Am] Sully figures out how to open a [Ab] box.
I'm just tearing into the box.
What am I going to do, return it?
Okay, it's a box within a box, our favorite.
Now we need to get this [Am] box out of this box.
If this segment is any shorter than 10 minutes, just know I cut a lot of [Ab] stuff out.
Wow, they packaged the thing well.
I'm winded, I'm going to need to take a break after this.
This does feel like Christmas morning, I'm opening up presents, I love it.
Except it's March and I bought this for myself.
[C] I'm working hard so I gotta put my hair back.
[Eb] This is the moment of truth.
[Am] [C] Oh dear lord.
Got a product [Am] catalog in case I want to [G] spend more money than [A] I already did.
And I do want to point out, this is not sponsored, I did not get this for free, I did [Ab] not get
a discount on this, I paid [Am] for this at market price.
This whole thing comes in pieces and I have to assemble it myself.
So here's the playable stem.
I should grab an automaton for size reference.
So this is the deluxe size [D] automaton.
When I got this thing, I was like, this is gigantic compared [B] to the smaller automatons.
I gotta unwrap all this ball wrap [C] just to make sure I'm not throwing away a tiny part
that I need.
[Am] Oh, I think I know what this is.
Oh joy.
Comparatively, [A] it's a little bigger.
Alright, let's put that there.
Where am I going to store this thing?
Everything has that nice plasticky smell.
[Am] This is [A] the clamp that you have to use to control the mouth because the mouth is so
[C] big you can't fit your hand around it.
[A] I literally [Am] have not a clue what this is.
They have to put like [E] a giant belt strap because the automaton weighs like 15 pounds.
I got a sticker.
I was unsure if I wanted [N] to pay $3,500 for this, but this sticker has made it all worth it.
I am overjoyed.
Ah, it's a little magnet.
I will put those on things.
This box alone is very well built to store all the components of the automaton jumbo.
Where do I even start?
Incredibly, there are no instructions, [Gm] so I do have to go to the online instructional video.
[Am]
Let's watch it together, shall we?
[E] There's a little screw back here and I'm assuming I screw this in and that'll hold it in place.
Oh, the strap is next.
Good thing I'm following this instruction.
Oh god, this is [Cm] gigantic.
It doesn't even fit on camera.
[G] God, this thing is huge.
Oh, [Am] the grip. Grip.
They call it a grip, not a clamp.
[Cm] Grip.
[D] I have no idea [C] what's going on.
Okay.
[Am] Alright, alright.
I did a thing.
Now we [Gm] get to mount it to the automaton.
Oh man.
I- [Am] there's no good way to go about this.
Gotta [Cm] use all my extremities.
Progress.
[C] Proooogress.
I might have gotten something backwards, but we'll figure it out a little later [B] on once
we have to try this thing.
[C] Ahaha!
[Eb] Look at it.
[Am] Oh, that's hilarious.
[N] The way the notes are positioned, you cannot play this fingered, you cannot [Am]-
Because the [N] notes are so close together.
It doesn't play very well, is what I'm figuring out.
[Am] [N] I'm not moving my finger one bit.
[Am] And the pitch is fluctuating a lot, [A] so.
Hello everyone, it's me from the future.
I just wanted to point out that I tried [Ab] powering this thing via USB and it works wonderfully.
So there's a problem with the internal battery, but when powered via USB it works perfectly.
[A] [Db]
[A] So disregard anything I said [Ab] about it being unplayable, it functions fine.
Back to the unboxing.
I don't think I'll find myself recording audio with this thing, but in terms of [Am] visuals,
I mean this thing is [D] stunning.
I think this is a great product.
I wouldn't go out of your way to start off with the [G] Jumbo.
Start with the normal Automaton, then go to the Deluxe, maybe the Techno, and then if
you're really [C] interested, [A] go for the Jumbo.
So what do we think?
Was that a successful unboxing video?
[Am] So my final thoughts on the Automaton Jumbo.
This is obviously a very niche product.
I don't think they're expecting many people to go out of their way and spend $3,500 [B] on this thing.
On the bright side, I'm probably one of the [Bb] few people in the world who owns an [C] Automaton
Jumbo, so I mean, [Gb] that's gotta count for something, right?
The [C] Automaton Jumbo.
Five months in the [Am] making, it's finally here.
Was it worth it?
[Cm] You decide!
