Has anyone ever heard of an ocarina before?
its like a small flute and it looks like the picture below,
it's a simple instrument to play on-the-go
i would love to know if anyone is interested in this type of instrument
theres plenty of videos on youtube with people playing them, you can just search "ocarina"

The only ocarina I know of is from The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time..

Yeah, i got to know of the instrument from that game as well

Yup, sweet memories...

I played one before. The one that i played is made of plastic.

the ocarina is pretty cool, i don't know if its better then the flute or anything but its cheaper when made out of plastic and stuff haha

hi~ i play 12holes n 6holes ocarina~ there r no shop in malaysia tht sell ocarina...n if u wanna get 1..my advise is dun get those plastic 1...its cheap bt they dun produce any nice sound...get a ceramic/clay 1 for nice sound quality...and if u wan quality n cheaper ocarina u can always try focalink brand...very gd quality n price is average...

Ocarina is a popular instrument in taiwan, there's a lot of ocarina shops in taiwan. In chinese they call it 陶笛 Tao Di. In malaysia it's not very popular, not many people know about this soulful sounding music instrument.

This taiwanese guy plays the ocarina very well.

I play a suprano ocarina which was ceramic made but I dropped it few weeks ago and it broke can anyone tell me if I can order any of those? Its the awesome instrument.

Is it easy to learn?

It's very easy to learn but hard to master~

anyone here plays ocarina...?do pm me..i need those talents for a tv prog..thanks!

I had a 12 hole clay ocarina and it broke just in the midst of learning Merry Go Round Of Life from Howl's Moving Castle. :'( Anyone know where I can buy one in Malaysia? It can be of different designs, types , materials, etc. If not, I'll have to order another one online :/

Oh and to anyone out there, the ocarina is an awesome instrument and there are different types of them to suit your needs. So if you have time to spare, try one out!

get from Songbird Ocarina. I think they deliver worldwide. Or try TNG ocarinas, but not sure if they do international trading or not.

I see a triforce on it! lulz.

oh ocarina...
b4 i went to taiwan, i've never heard of it... hahaha...., so noe nothing about it,
then at taiwan, simply bought a few at 9fen, back in msia only start to do research,
then got a few more from china taobao.

so as a noob/beginner, i have tested a few ocarinas, expensive one and cheap ones.
it is important to choose an ocarina that is very playable and forgiving for the noob.
y? cos some ocarina, i have a soprano c performance grade, it is very tough to play for noob, a bit of air leaking from hole the note will lari, u need to be very precise with ur fingers, not recommended for beginners.

the brown submarine on top, Stein AC, is very forgiving, good for noobs.
