Not all ocarina of time replicas are created equally.
On Amazon, there is a flood of Ocarina of Time replicas in the $15-25 price range, and they are not great instruments. If you only want the aesthetic and won't play it, go ahead, but if you really care about ocarinas, shell out the extra dough and buy an OoT replica from one of these vendors:
Amazon Links:
STL OoT: amzn.to/3aC8V4O
Songbird OoT: amzn.to/3kXYvkO
Songbird OoT 7-Hole: amzn.to/34aIFxg
Songbird OoT 7-Hole Plastic: amzn.to/34aIFxg
Maker Sites:
www.songbirdocarina.com/ - best balance of value/aesthetic - USE CODE ANDY10 for 10% OFF
www.stlocarina.com/ - best value
spencerocarina.com/ - best overall
If you don't care about having a Zelda replica, start with a night by noble! The best plastic ocarina for beginners and for travelling: amzn.to/2PKMPDm
Be careful in buying your first ocarina! I recommend starting with plastic, getting comfortable enough to NOT drop it, then upgrading to a ceramic when you are ready. Treat your ocarina well! Don't drop it like I demonstrate at the end ;)

@mikeexits Год назад

Reading all these stories makes me glad I started with a good one - the STL OoT replica shown in this video. I'm kind of sad I sold it nowadays but at least a good-quality instrument went to someone for a cheaper than new price. My first serious Ocarina is gonna be the Water one from STL; the blue glow-in-the-dark one and the nature-y vine-design green one are pretty cool too, but I think the next step up for me after the water one will be their cheapest Porcelain one for $200 (because if I'm gonna spend $2,000 on an instrument I'd rather get a Synthstrom Deluge and Elektron Digitakt/Syntakt, or a Moog Matriarch). Anyone know if porcelain ocarinas are noticeably more durable than the ceramic ones? I've read the material is more durable in general but I'm not sure how it would translate to the form and shape of an Ocarina.

@crowsartcorner9381 3 года назад

It physically hurt to watch that ocarina shatter, and I'm not even sure why. Honestly, I don't mind having the "bad" one. I've been a huge Zelda fan for a long time, and i got the ocarina a bit over 2 years ago, when I was in a tough spot in my life. Its got emotional value, even if its got nothing for actual value. I might look into the better ones later, but for now I'm good with mine ♡

@emmab5838 2 года назад

I completely agree. My first 12 hole ocarina was $20, plastic, airy, and very out of tune, but I love it to death. Similarly to you, mine has emotional value too, as I was also in a very hard time in life. I would be heartbroken to see it break. Even cheap, poor quality ocarinas should be protected, because there is always someone out there who will get joy out of it.

@Green_Scimitar0813 2 года назад

I Agree one time my mom shattered my ocarina i held back my tears luckily i got a new one but ill never for get what happened

@mikeexits Год назад

I can strongly recommend the STL replica as a good budget yet decent quality instrument. Looks beautiful in person, feels good to hold (for my lanky piano hands at least), and plays really nicely. STL has been a good bang-for-buck source for me personally. Although I haven't tried any others so my experience is limited.

@nobody2021 2 года назад

If you don't care about zelda, it's probably best to get a different one. I recommend a six hole pendant. The way you hold them is more comfortable imo than 12 holes because you don't have to torque your wrist awkwardly. If you still want a 12-hole, then a night by Noble would be a better bet. I have owned both the STL 12-hole Zelda, and a night by noble, and I find the night by Noble to be way more comfortable to play and hold. Does Zelda one was primarily designed with aesthetics in mind, remember this design came from a video game where it just had to look pretty, but that doesn't necessarily translate well to real world ergonomics.

@Ravenfellblade Год назад

The plastic Songbird is actually pretty great. It's inexpensive and mine is very well tuned. It does have a really weird breath curve in that the mid notes seem to require firmer breaths than the high notes, and it can be a tad cramped for those with bigger hands. I don't have a large collection of ocarinas by any means, just the Songbird Kokiri and a handmade clay 5-hole pendant, but I'm really loving the instrument.

@morgantraynor2444 2 года назад

I spent three hours taking a round sanding tool to the holes in my ceramic ocarina before I got it perfectly in tune. It’s still not at concert pitch, but it’s relative to itself now. I had to start at the bottom and grind away a bit at a time. 9 out of 12 holes had to be adjusted by significant margins. The high F was a whole tone flat, after all. But now I have a lovely gift that I can ACTUALLY play. I feel bad for anyone without excessive music training trying to make these corrections themselves. If I had gotten this for myself, I would have done more research first, but it was a gift and a Zelda one at that. I love everything Zelda. :) It was worth the effort to fix it rather than just put it on my shelf. It has pretty good tone.

I wish I would have seen this video earlier😅 I own a pretty similar ocarina like you bought on amazon (maybe it is the same because the case looks the same) and I always wondered why my high notes are so out of tune (if I try to play a high F it sounds like a kind of in tune E so it's not as bad as yours). I always thought that my technique was wrong. But it's not that bad because I only tried to learn the basics and now I don't really play on it anymore (too many other instruments yk😅). It's just a kind of decoration but this hand-shape stand is pretty bad. If you place the ocarina on it and you are just walking away, it (nearly) drops. Overall I am not mad because it was just 15 euros or even less (I don't remember). But I just need to look into the comments and I see that I'm by far not the only one😂 Thanks a lot for the video. Now I know that my technique is not bad but the instrument itself😅 Oh and by the way I dropped if after playing like two times on it. I forgot how that happend but there is only I tiny space which is know white because I small piece broke out of it😅 It was "only" on the carpet but even that damaged it like that. I kinda hated myself for that but after seeing your video I think it's fine😂

i bought this ocarina at the mall for 25 and mine has the same box, but mine is more of the color of the STL and it sounds better than the one that was in your box of this ocarina. It may not sound the best but i still love it because i had this when i was 4 or 5 and i dropped it, when it shattered, my heart shattered, so i still love it

@idkanymore2463 3 года назад

thanks for telling me this, even though I just got my Ocarina from Amazon which is this exact same thing, at least I know I'm not causing the problem.

I tried to follow the link for the plastic one but it didn't work, does anyone have a different link I can use?

The sound of the Amazon Ocarina breaking is more beautiful than playing it

@MichaelBrown-bt2gy 10 месяцев назад

My friend bought this exact same $3 ocarina. I learned two songs on it so far, with no problems. It sounds good, too.

@whatwhat7798 3 года назад

Its wild, I could see the difference in the hole sizes as soon as you held them up! You can really see that it wasn’t fine tuned in the slightest 😅 clearly just punched and passed down the line which is unfortunate because it for sure has potential to sound decent!

The only song I can get to sound even a little correct on a Cheffort 12 hole ocarina is Zelda-s lullaby, and even then it comes out very pitchy and airy.

Hey I need help. I want an ocarina for Christmas and found one just like this but for 20 at Walmart. Would that one be better?

@logantrimble006 Месяц назад

I bought this, shipped it back, and received every penny I spent on it back. Now I have plastic ones and they work just fine.

@Flora_Dawn 3 года назад

Idk, I got that same ocarina. It plays beautifully and hits high notes like a charm... maybe mine was crafted differently?

@astridposey 2 года назад

Could have been a different manufacturer. A lot of them have the same packaging on Amazon but they are made by different people.

@RealKMDub 2 года назад

As someone who was looking into getting an ocarina, thank you for this.

@AndyCormierYT Год назад

Still confused on which Amazon ocarinas to buy? I reviewed SEVEN more cheap ocarinas from Amazon (OcarinaWind and other vendors) to show why you should NEVER buy from untrustworthy brands - ALSO use code ANDY10 if you're shopping at Songbird! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RbqQ6E8Hg18.html

@Gerolamo_ofc Год назад

why will my subtitles identify the Amazon song as music and the STL won't?

@cuyospartan02 Год назад

Thanks for the video man, as a frustrated musician i looked at this exact ocarina and bought it thinking it was going to be afun time learning to play it at the same time i had a legend of zelda souvenir. I was really dissapointed when mine came REALLY off tune, then i watched this video and returned the crappy ocarina of time and ordered the plastic one, hope its good!

@rickcorn 3 года назад

Bought one of the cheap Ocarinas a few days ago and am waiting for it to arrive. I'm so glad this video popped up on my recommended. I would've hated myself for a long time had I not been warned of the sound quality of this thing. I mean, I'll still play it but at least I know it's not completely my fault that I suck.

@superfred1.9 Год назад

Literally ordered the inexpensive one five minutes before finding this video, had to cancel the order and switch to STL's. That was a close call, thanks!

@AndyCormierYT 3 года назад

Thankfully, it's not like you're breaking the bank by getting one haha. I'm releasing a video this Friday on GOOD OoT replicas, if you're looking into grabbing a good one :)

@1handedtyper 3 года назад

I have a question. Can the 12-hole from Songbird be equipped with a strap that'll prevent you from dropping it?

@AndyCormierYT 3 года назад

I only own a one of a kind version of the Songbird OoT, so I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. Spencer's and STL's can both utilize straps, though!

@perfidiousprophet 3 года назад

I really suggest STL Ocarina- they're lovely and cheaper than Songbird, and I was introduced to them at a con. Just bought my Oot one, and it's my second ocarina- eagerly waiting for it in the mail.

@naturewatcher7596 3 года назад

I did buy this ocarina for decoration/cosplay purpose, but when I heard that my daughter trying to learn how to play on it and it sounds awful I suspected that it's out of tune and I need to buy another for her which is a real playable musical instrument. Ordered plastic STL ocarina, but meantime 3d printed one, which actually sounded clearer and overall better than the decorative ceramic one but still had some problems with high notes. Now eager to get a real instrument and hear how the quality ocarina should sound like. Thank you for your review and comparison.

@joshuaenloe5078 Год назад

I have the kmise 12 tone alto c with song book display stand neck cord and I played epona's song, Saria's song, Zelda's lullaby, and the song of time surprisingly it was actually in tune.

@IHydro 5 месяцев назад

The fact that this video pops up days after I purchased this exact ocarina. Even though this video is 3 years old 😭

@chelseawoolard7657 2 года назад

I literally just bought the exact one from the thumbnail and my heart was BREAKING that it sounded so badly. Not that I expected to be amazing at it right off, but damn. I was too embarrassed to practice in the house😅

@DrawingTechnical 3 года назад

Great and funny video. Thanks for saving me the trouble, I grew up playing Ocarina of time and my kids are into it too, it would be nice to get a good authentic replica and play for my kids. Also your Saria song was really nice, my daughter likes Epona's song.

@ZeldaACFan17 3 года назад

My favorite Zelda songs are the Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass title themes, the file select theme from OoT, Majora's Mask and a few others (in OoT and Majora's Mask the file select theme is part of the song used in the Fairy Fountains), and the Song of Time
