Small recovery, increased speed Posts: 45 Group: Member Member #284 Joined: May 11, 2008	I acquired my first ocarina a few days ago (A 6-hole pendant), and it was from them. For one, their ocarinas are gorgeous - I just love looking at mine. They have a really neat handmade look to them that just gives them a cool feeling. My opinion isn't really too helpful, because I just started playing and this is the only I've ever had. However, I do like it - I will be buying a better one in the near future, but this one has been good to learn on. Aside from being iffy on the higher notes (though that could just be my inexperience), it sounds pretty good for a cheap ocarina. So, if you're looking to start learning one, it's what I'm using and it's working pretty well for me, just don't expect it to be your primary ocarina. For the pendants, at least - I haven't played their sweet potatoes because they were more than I was wanting to pay to see if I liked the instrument. Oh, and it can't play F sharp, which is strange, but hey...

So I'll move it to regional focus. If not from US please let me know, so I can move it to the correct forum

Pendanters x 2 Posts: 22 Group: Member Member #512 Joined: June 1, 2008	here is The Shire Song on my 5 hole ocarina for the pics you saw earlier. http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.ph...36864&code=78b0 click on link click download file, type in code, and enjoy. (not sure where else to host stuff at) let me know what you think.

All my picture tabs (which includes the Shire Song) are hosted there. You can find a complete list of my tabs in the thread link in my signature.

Pendanters x 2 Posts: 22 Group: Member Member #512 Joined: June 1, 2008	that was the actual song i was playing (the audio) not the tabs. sorry for confusion, and ill check out photobucket.

something else Posts: 187 Group: Member Member #66 Joined: April 25, 2008	http://www.mediamax.com/ MediaMax - Free Online Storage - Share Videos and Photos - Online MP3 Access I have an account their. First to upload ANYTHING you want. From documents(including PDFs) to videos. Then you host it in the Host folder. Make sense if you register an account. But its free for like up to 2 gig i think :dumb: and just get the link when u upload it then click on it and u see the stream file. EDIT: https://www.thelinkup.com/Secured/Login.aspx , it got upgrade. I think its free since they didnt ask me a credit card o.o

Pendanters x 4 Posts: 42 Group: Member Member #538 Joined: June 3, 2008	Saw a pic...Caution from an acomplished ocarina maker: notice the glaze or color got into the holes around the edge, this is a big no no as the slightest adjustment of the holes will ultimately change the tuning. even in minute ways, this can be a big pain. So watch for the finger holes to be sure they are not sloppily painted etc. And as always...it's better to buy an instrument in person as everyone has different tastes and it is impossible to see or experience one fully without being there to see it, touch it, hear it etc......( i know...i'm putting up more sound bytes of the new turtles etc soon) this is just general info.

Poor excuse for an ocarina-player. Posts: 270 Group: Member Member #733 Joined: June 24, 2008	To be honest, these ocarinas don't appeal to me visually. They look amateurishly made, and if they look amateurish I wonder how they sound. I don't intend that as an insult. I'm just stating my thoughts.
