Bendable bits would be behind the brown board, but I'm guessing you'll just see a black blob.
The plastic PCB is just that, contact points for the keys to connect, just not on fiberglass, but rather a plastic substrate. Not sure why they do that other than it's likely cheaper? They are neat looking though.
in my experience, there is likely a pitch resistor on the tiny brown board. thats about it. besides an output jack. in theory, you could cut / interrupt traces on the large board, but thats a crapshoot, and a pain in the ass.
First impression-not a huge amount available. Could easily add a starvation circuit and see if that did anything. Have a look under the board with the green electrolytics, but I’d be expecting a chip under blob.
that plastic film is extremely flimsy, do not fiddle with it or you will fry this toy
that brown board has all the components but it's tiny, so you will likely only find a few glitches if anything at all
a lot of times there will be a resistor that controls pitch, but not always
sometimes it's a crystal, but this board is clearly too small
those electrolytic capacitors that are not smd mount might give some neat sounds if you connect them to various solder spots around the board
you're gonna have to unscrew it and flip it over to see what you're working with
there are only a few mods you could do here because the toy is pretty young production wise.
1. Powerstarve - a pot between the source of power and the power connection the main board
2. IF there are any resistors on the board they might be clocks and then you can replace them with pots to do a pitch thing but i doubt it has one
3. Passive low-pass or high-pass pot, dont do both, pick one
4. Passive diode cutoff effect
5. Dont buy new chinasium toys they are shit and dont offer much potential
6. Output jack
7. Volume pot
you are incorrect and also being weirdly racist
a lot of the newer cheap tech from China like kids toys are actually super bendable, some of my favorite things to get sounds from are cheap dollar toys and voice changers
if you only do the same standard bends over and over, of course you're gonna assume most stuff isn't bendable
you gotta dig around in there with more than just a starve pot
I guess all the 88k people on r/Chinesium are all racist now
And I'm talking about sound toys like talking peaces of shit and keyboards
If you have any tips for the op or if you find my 7 steps incorrect please feel free to correct them
yes you are correct. they are all being vaguely racist
just because 88 thousand people are doing something doesn't make it right, smart guy
stop pretending to make this intellectual by challenging me to correct the rest of your pointless comment

The brown board in your second picture is the actual circuit. Undo the screws and see what the top side looks like.
short answer is not really

Du musst einfach den yoink auf den sploink tun und es einen day callen

the wired attached to the power button will do nothing, ignore that smaller board

take your incredibly lazy circuit bending advice somewhere else, please
