Link to their site: http://www.ocarina.it/index-e.htm  A comment: These ocarinas are one of the oldest in Italy, and are said to stick close to the original 10-hole ocarina invented by Giuseppe Donati. Here is a sample of their Alto C http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4HR0L71aR4 |

I own 2 fabio menaglio's, the Do3 and the Sol2... The Do3 sounds like [CENSORED], reall. Compared to my Focalink G and C Soprano's it really is bad. I would not reccomend buying them. Way to expensive, now the euro is about 1.60 dollar... I'll try to upload some video's of it, but i'm having a busy time with school exams... |

As witemp says, they're probably not amazing ocarinas compared to some of the more modern ocarinas of the orient. But I think Fabio Menaglio ocarinas are authentic italian ocarinas that stay faithful to the original 10-hole transverse ocarina design. It is from this design that many of today's ocarinas were developed from and born  If I get one, it would be more for historical interest as well as playing

The Fabios are copies of the best ever made. In my opinion I have never heard a better flute than the old italians, they sing like no other. I have some made by Donati's friends that are beyond anything I have ever come accross. They were professional players and makers, kind of like some of the better ocarinas of the east now. It takes a player to make a fine oc. I sold my fabio set of 5 a month or two ago because I never used them. I am not saying they are bad flutes, but in my unique situation, I have the originals so I don't need a copy. I also have over 100 ocarinas so getting rid of some is a good idea. The ocarina press was popularized by Vicinelli, thats what fabio copied. Vicinelli is called the Antonio Stradivari of ocarinas, he set the standard. I wanted to mention that I want one of his double ocarinas and the mignon, they are pretty unique. |

Hey thats my very first Ocarina ^^ But i guess you do have a point. I am most certain that it has to do with me being a beginner but I still can't lose the feeling that it's not all my fault Guess I'll have to try something else some times :blink: @Kissing: I told you it sounds strange :P |
