 I ordered from Maparam yesterday and my double Alto C was shipped today! Talk about fast! O_OI can't wait to start messing up on it XD I'm so gonna start with Ballad of the Windfish! Will probably take me along while to get used to a double but oh well, the sooner I start practicing the sooner I will learn :P |

When I ordered my Maparams there were little mistake with the order. The tracking system said that the destination country would be France, while it should have been Finland. I sent email to Minsoo Kim about it, and he replied to me within hour saying that he had informed the carrier about it. I think that's fast.

In my experience with the two makers, Focalink has been better in the email service. Mr Zack Shih writes in English well and responds thoroughly. Maparam's Mr. MinSoo Kim's english is not as good, and he seems to struggle a bit in the emails. But that's ok ^_^ I can translate and contact him (have done it before and got a speedy response in his native language - Korean). |

Kissing, after watching your video with you playing your Maparam (Simple and Clean), the Maparam does have a sweet sound! I wish I could get a Maparam T_T STL is my only resort for right now. |

Well my Maparam double Alto C has arrived today!!!!!!!! *insert hallelujah music* It was excellently packaged in the awesomely padded case with some extra bubblewrap around the case. Included in the package were the fingering chart, a print of the ocarina mentioning the tuning hole on top, Minsoo Kim's business card, and a CD! Smile in the Spring - Ocarina Classica. Lovely CD I might add. So I've been practicing just a wee bit this morning (it's still early here in the Netherlands). First impressions are good, though I'm having trouble with some airy sounding high notes on the first chamber. It probably is my bad breathing technique though and I should use TAB. I am used to small pendants and the Spencer Alto C, which require very little breath pressure. So I noticed the pressure required here is a tad bit more than I'm used to. I shall require quite some practice to master this ocarina.....I'm such a noob

I absolutely love the look and overall shape and design of the Maps. I've been practicing and it is starting to sound alot better already...so it probably is just my bad technique, just what I expected. I do still hope to get a reply from Minsoo Kim to see if he has any useful playing tips. |

Congratulations with the Maparam. Yeah, the Maps hold some kind of serene beauty. Focalink Doubles look beautiful and shiny, but the Maparam Doubles beauty lies in the sound it produces. |

I
love the Maparam's look too- beautiful things come in simple packages! It's like, 'we don't need to be flashy and shiny, our beauty and quality is on the INSIDE!!' But the straw fired focalinks are sweet looking too (will I get banned? lol)

You'll have it in about 3~4 days A week at most :lol: His shipping service is very fast. If there is a delay (such as the ocarina being out of stock, and having to make more), he'd email you about it
