#SONGBIRD OCARINA COUPONS 2015 UPDATE#

You may find some Zelda ocarinas that have fingering like the game, rather than traditional 12 hole fingering. If you're experienced enough to know your preferences, Spencer can customize the ocarina's playing characteristics to suit you. He makes each one by hand and while they are expensive, they are hand crafted works of art that also play beautifully. If money is no object, then I recommend Spencer Register's Zelda Replica. Both of these have slightly different apperances than from the game, but better ergonomics. I like the Rotter Zelda replica (it's a better value if you're in Europe) and 6th Street Ocarina. There are a couple of Zelda replicas that aren't quite as rounded, but are still good. Of course, the rounded shape affects its ergnomomics, but the rounded shape is part of the design. At $50, it provides the best possible value and has a great sound.

If you want a single chambered Zeldas replica that looks the part, but are price conscious, then I recommend STL's Zelda replica. I've recorded numerous videos with it and even performed with it for my Princess Zelda Live concert series. If you're looking for one that is both a great instrument and comparable to non-decorated ocarinas in both price and function, I recommend the STL Zelda Double. Many Zelda replicas have a more rounded shape, which makes their ergnomics a bit awkward and makes them slightly more difficult to play. It's how I learned about the ocarina, so I can totally relate. Lots of people discover the ocarina through Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise. When in doubt, shoot me a quick message and I (or my assistant) will get back to you asap. I recommend steering clear of any retailer that sells such an instrument since the retailer has demonstrated that they're not concerned about instrument quality.

If the price seems too good to be true, then chances are they are badly tuned or knockoff instruments. This year we're expecting over 20 guests from Japan alone, and of course ocarinist from around the country. The videos for 20 are available online courtesy of the Allen TX television station. I offered to organize and host a gathering if 10 people confirmed! Well, 10 people confirmed and since then we've moved from a grocery store foyer to a televised concert hall hosting performers from Norway, China, and Japan. It started in 2014 when a group of ocarina enthusiasts were lamenting that we don't have a gathering or a reason for everyone to get together.

Many people like Soprano G ocarinas because they require softer breath than Alto C ocarinas, and the high notes are easier to play. You can use the Alto G with the method book, but the notes you read and hear in demos will be a little lower than the notes you play. It also comes in a Soprano G variant (called Alto G on STL Ocarina's Website). I designed this ocarina with tone, playability, and ergonomics in mind.

If you send me a photo of you with the method book, I'll sell it to you at a discount.Īria AC (also called Tenor C on STL Ocarina's Website). It is available through and Ebay, but I also have some in stock for people who have purchased my method book. Here's a video of me performing a duet with it at the 2014 US Ocarina Festival. I perform with it quite often and recommend it to all of my students. Night by Noble Plastic AC: It's the best plastic ocarina in the world.
