12 Hole Ceramic Ocarina with "Bird Loves Flower" Design, Tenor C Ocarina,Hand Painted by OcarinaWind, Gift Idea

My daughter came home from music class one day and asked us to buy her an Ocarina. Nope, never heard of it. To Amazon we go!!! This came packaged very well. It was secure, has it's own kit, and a book to teach you how to play. She loves it and we love listening!!!

The media could not be loaded. This is a very good, affordable ocarina for beginners and those looking for a high quality sound instrument. The weight and shape is very comfortable to use for an extended time, and it doesn't feel (or sound) cheap! This design is also very pretty, and I get a lot of compliments when performing for others. It's kind of loud, which makes for a clear sound, but it kind of hurts my ears after a while (I might not be normal, but its something to consider!) It does take some technique to make it sound nice, taking into account your breathing pressure and finger dexterity

I've had this ocarina for a while now, and I really have no complaints about it. It was one of my first ones, and for the price, I think it was well worth it. I love the flower and bird design. It has good sound, sort of a fuller tone than the other one I bought at the same time, which was about $5 cheaper than this one at the time. The cheaper one is much more airy/squeaky sounding and requires a lot more breath control to play the notes in tune; I found it much easier to learn how to play on this one. If you're looking for a good quality, decently priced ocarina for your first one, I'd definitely recommend it.

It’s beautiful, to the eye and touch. Not being a musician, I’ll be giving it to my granddaughter who plays the bass with her friends. They’ll enjoy it!

This is my second ocarina. I have one by awef that is really nice, looks good and sounds good. I just got this one, and there is a drastic difference in sound. This one just sounds way better. It comes in this way nice zip up hard ase that I absolutely love, and the song book has a shit ton of songs, including a handful from the LoZ series. Not to mention the beautiful design that you can tell is hand painted. It's extremely comfortable, and will definitely be the one I use on stage when playing with the church band, but I definitely will not be carrying this one around everywhere I go like I have been doing with the last one, because I do not want to risk messing it up.

Noodling with different instruments has always been a hobby of mine, and when I saw this ocarina, I wanted to try it.The ocarina is not an easy instrument to play well, and even having played woodwinds for 40 years, I admit that it was a bit tricky for me to figure out how to hold it in a manner that allowed me to reliably hit the required fingerings. Also, this is an instrument where embouchure and steady airflow will drastically affect the tone produced.Assuming you have the right embouchure, a steady air stream and your fingers covering the holes completely, this instrument produces surprisingly beautiful, full tones. I was quite impressed, as I was expecting it to produce something shrill and inconsistent at the price point offered. I decided to give it a chance, based on the positive reviews, and I'm glad I did.I definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to play an ocarina.

It came with everything that was supposed to and it's really easy to play. There's no note that's difficult. I've been playing musical instruments since I was six, starting with the recorder of course. This thing sounds just like a recorder, so if that's something you don't want, then this is not the right instrument for you. I definitely have some finger fatigue right now because it's heavier than you would think and it's also a weird shape to get used to. Overall I'm enjoying it and I think I'll continue to play.

It’s definitely low tier. Sound is rough and jagged compared to one of a properly made Ocarina. Untimely the value is not worth the lack of function. It feels like it’s a hefty weight and smells dusty. I gave it a clean but it still doesn’t play well. It’s smooth and wouldn’t last long with actual use. It’s mostly decorative sadly.
