Beginner Ocarina: Which Inexpensive Ocarina Should I Buy on Amazon? 

the "uh oh" 2:35 had me thinking the ghost of a child was haunting me

She definitely passed the vibe check

Finally a RU-vid video that’s not from 5 years ago so I can comment something like “what ocarina is this” and they’ll actually respond 😭

haha your face when you played that replica, admiring you for playing the full range despite of the sound :D !!

I wish I would've seen this video before my first (and only so far) ocarina purchase. Ha ha. I ended up getting an Ocarina Wind Sweet Potato and honestly... it seems like I made a pretty good choice. I did a little research and found out the Zelda-themed ones tend to be out of tune so good to hear your experience has been the same. You're 100% right with your assessment of the Aklot. I too thought some of the high notes sounded questionable. It's not that way on the Ocarina Wind which appears to track much better. Additionally, I've heard nothing but good feedback about STL Ocarina (I believe you introduced me to them in one of your vids), so if I was to get another, I'd probably go there. Thanks for the rundown and sharing your experiences. It's always good to hear people's "hands on" impressions of different brands. Holy cow this was a long comment. I guess that means I liked the video.

Your joy and enthusiasm is amazing! I haven't learned an instrument before and thought for the price I would love to try one even if I can only play one song from a zelda game

Awesome, thank you, just ordered one from ocarina wind :-)

I love your videos so much.I will be getting several ocarinas once that u mention from ocarina wind the wave.Anyway, also buying some kalimbas as well.I can't sing at all.I just need something soothing and something easy to learn.I love your possivable attitude.Carrie Kritcher

Thank you so much I tryed looking at other videos but they were saying get some pretty expensive ones but thanks to you I can know get a good quality ocarina for a lower price.

Short answer: only the night by noble or plastic OOT replica by songbird

Ocarina del Mar (Poseidon) 4:16 Ocarina Amatista 4:39

thank you for the informative video!!👍

Thank you so much for this, I'm looking to get started playing the ocarina and it's so difficult to find good beginner ocarinas. I was wondering if you would recommend Ocarina Wind generally as a good brand? I've been looking at a cracked white ceramic one of theirs, and was wondering if it will be as good as the blue one you talk about in this video? Thanks!!

What's the difference between a wooden and a ceramic one? Does the wooden one requiere special care? Or what's the difference as far as sound is concerned? I've been watching/listening videos of ppl playing both and and can't hear a defining difference

La morada me encanta como suena Purpple Y la ocarina ocean = nice.

you seem so sweet!! i love this video and ur laugh is so adorable

My first ocarina was an OcarinaWind and it's horrible and out of tune. It's the white one with a crackle finish (forgot the exact name) so definitely not all of them are equal.

Cool!

Literally the only dislikes on this video are from the people who can't get a legend of Zelda ocarina because they're literally made like crap.

Can you tell me if that Wave Ocarina would be good for learning this piece? It's much smaller than this one from Amazon. If you suggest a different model, I'd love to find out. I just gotta lean that part of the song, lol. Thanks!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DT1NJwEi6nw.html

4:58 shounds like someone says im gay???

Hi :-)

Couldn't help noticing Catan in the background :p Great channel!

It's nice to see somebody actually not recommending plastic ones for beginners. I don't have the best musical ear, but even I could tell that ceramic ones sound a lot better. I have an ocarina on it's way from Songbird (Dragon's Tooth). A friend has one and it sounds amazing. They also indicated it would be a good one for me since I have large hands. Not the cheapest, but less than I paid for my computer keyboard and I won't have to upgrade as I learn and get better at it.

i wish they could put videos on amazon to show how the ocarinas sound

Thank you for making this video! My father gave me the ocarina of time about three years ago because we are both Zelda fans. At the time I wasn't as interested in music as I am now. I play a few instruments now like, piano, guitar, ukulele, and recorder. I finally decided to get the ocarina out and started learning more about and after a bite I felt like it was out of tune. after seeing videos about ocarinas, it doesn't sound the same as the others. I'm glad I found these types of videos so I know I'm not crazy. :')

i know this was made some years ago, but that Ocarinawind one sounds amazing!!!

I'm getting one I love how flute like they sound, I play the tin whistle but I'm looking to play with this one too for fun ...

Thank you so much! I just really really like Zelda and wanted a professional opinion before I tried it out. Have a blessed day❤️❤️

gotta hate how the ocarinas of time on amazon are pure doodoo ;~; they look so beautiful tho

¡Excelente! Muchas gracias, me sirvió mucho tu video. Ya se que ocarina comprar 🙂

My reason to get an Ocarina is Nancy Rumble. She is a great player.

I got the AC. Seems tuned fairly well.

Sweet ocarina and a sweet collection of board games

such a beautiful smile. Brightened up my day.

I love how you make a point, then giggle 🤣

This video and your amazon philosophy are on point. Are we microwave culture now? Hit the button and dont even wait the recommended two minute standing time. We will have our packages on the morrow... 👍

youre the most bubbly cute person ive ever seen, great video

This is such a helpful video! Thank you so much for this amazing video

Another instrument I’ve heard of but didn’t understand until your videos. Thanks Molly

I’m so sad that I really didn’t come across this video sooner before viewing recommendations. I was so excited to learn the ocarina and play it for this one girl, but I became disappointed upon hearing the sound of the HuHu Ocarina sold on Amazon. Definitely returning and getting a refund to buy the songbirds. Thank you, Miss!

I'm mainly a guitarist so it's kinda strange to approach an instrument that will be permanently in or out of tune lol

thank you for the insights on the Ocean Wave!

this is an old video so commenting probably does not matter HOWEVER an ocarina that you did not mention is the osawa soprano c specifically soprano because it's 25 dollars while the alto is 35. they both sound wonderful eventhough they are plastic and cheap.

Do you recommend any song books or books that teach good techniques? I’m trying to get into it! Thanks. :)

What about wooden ocarinas. I mean they are less fragile as well and also smaller ones

You can't get any cute-ier or girly even if you try. Thanks for the info.

I have the "mountain echo" ocarina from ocarina wind and was wondering if it is actually really good and I'm not playing it properly or if it's bad and out if tune

Hey I bought the ocean ocarina from ocarina wind and sadly it doesnt play that well I am happy that you got a good one though

I loooove every time you smile 😂😂😂, you're so sweet, I can't 😆😆

I just got a Night By Noble Plastic Ocarina. It sounds normal I guess but I just can’t grasp the high notes.

Hi! I play the flute for a pretty long time now and I would like to try ocarinas. Is it actually easier if I already know music? Thank you!

Why don't play those instruments? It could be funny 😄

I usually wouldn’t choose this instrument as my first choose as a percussionist but as soon I heard this Instrument I fell in love. I mainly play glockenspiels, kalimbas, and drums, also keyboard to a degree 😅, hopefully once I get the instrument I’ll get the hang of it

imo "ocarina of crap it's not that bad for that price

I got a 13 pound white ocarina and it’s fine

You're just a delight 😁

I have the first 1 but i'm Just beging

Give me one pls

Oh no, cheap ocarinas 😭

I have that one but it’s 30 dollars 😬

Absolutely beautiful. And the instrument is cool to 🤗
