Anyone have anything to say about it? Good, or Bad? (Im thinking its more of a collectors item than anything else)

So not really an ocarina I would get. But it still is a cool ocarina to get if you're in it for collection's sake and like how it looks

But it's range is rather limited, so don't expect to play too many songs on it It's still a nice item to have, though

Definitely not a concert instrument or something to replace your current ocarina with. But it's really cute, and I'd get it when I have spare cash and wish to have a pretty ocarina collection hanging on my walls.
