AHA! I've been emailing Zack back and forth a little lately about a couple ocarinas, and he mentioned something about the matte black. I guess he got us Drew's mixed up. Confused the hell outta me hehe. |

It's excellent. The tone is rich and warm, and it is easy to control. You may find the high notes a bit airy, but most of it goes away with a short warmup before playing and the acute bend. Overall, I'm very satisfied with it. |

I'm having difficulty deciding what I want to order from Focalink with my next purchase  I'm pretty sure I'm getting a Double SG and their new book, but I'm not sure if I am going to get anything else

Get a pendant! It's so worth the money when you combine the shipping. The novelties are excellent at only ~$5! |

Very good idea moonsyne!  Now my list is up to 1.Double SG 2.at least one pendant 3.edit:Their new book (I think I'm going to hold off on the triple until later this year  edit:I'm also tempted to buy a standard alto C, a better one is needed for my collection! And there are times when a good ol' 12 hole is best! Edited by ForestsRequiem, Nov 14 2008, 11:21 PM.

Forest, you might also be interested in thisI took that from the custom painted Focalink thread. I'm assuming that the offer extends to double ocarinas too. Wouldn't hurt to ask. |

It does apply to the double alto as well. I ordered my set a few days ago but was not present to sign for it so there goes the weekend a-wasted without a new ocarina... |

Well I got it! I got my new focalink alto c (A model) sweet potato with custom matte black glaze!!! It's so sweet. I don't know many songs on it yet but on the ones I do know, it sounds great. It will take a little while getting used to it because the position of the thumb hole is a little lower than my other ocarina but it'll be fine in a while. It came very fast and very well packaged. I also like the case it comes with, it may be a little thin padding wise but it will protect it from scratches at least and I'm going to get a big case for all of my ocarinas anyway. I also ordered the Die Lethe songbook and CD with it and I really like the CD(although the speakers on my computer suck). The songbook is probably good too but I wouldn't know seeing as I can't read sheet music (I'm going to try to learn). Well I'm very happy with it and I would definately buy from Focalink again. I'm sooo happy right now...lol

Congrats on your new Focalink! Matte black is soooooo nice. I'll definitely be wanting a matte black triple whenever I order one. |

Thank you Myung. I really like it, I should change my oc of choice to it. And I bet that would look really cool. I didn't know you could get custom glazes on the doubles and triples though. |

I actually don't know if that's possible. But I assume anything is possible if you pay the right amount of money!

Got my Fokalink order today! The biggest surprise was how small the soprano was from the alto. They're all lovely, but I think it'll be a while for me to learn how to play them. The pendant fingerings of the 6 hole pendant was a lot different from the Hind I was used to. |
