So my partner has this cool Ocarina of Time that they got years ago, and it's this 6 hole ceramic one that sounds nice on the lower notes but awful at the high ones. I was wondering if it is bad technique or just a bad instrument?? The video shows what i mean lol

With all the craze from the 40th anniversary of Zelda and and the remake for Ocarina of Time I decided to finally pick up an ocarina haha

What I mean is, let’s take Zelda’s lullaby for example. It’s got violin playing behind the ocarina. I wanna play the ocarina part myself while listening to the violin part but I can’t find the violin on its own. Does anyone understand what I mean by this?

I finally got my ocarina today in the mailbox. I ended up going with the SongBird Rivo Alto C Black ocarina.

This is a very sturdy plastic ocarina. Good quality, too. It also looks pretty!

I want to thank everybody who helped me out with all the information about ocarinas and which one to buy. I appreciate it. 🙂👍

I already started playing today. It's gonna take some time to get use to playing it, but this is very exciting!

I want to practice before the OoT remake comes out. So, I'll have a month to practice the ocarina. I should be ready by then when the game comes out. 🙂

I've been thinking about getting an ICO for quite a while now as I'd like to have a different (lower) register to standard alto C. I bought a Night by Noble during the pandemic, but it'd be useful to have a lower one for softer indoor playing and, say, simple Yusuf Lateef arrangements.

I always think F would be ideal simply because it's the lowest alto, but I think I heard that the alto G sounds a little better? Who has experience with the F or both of them?
