I WILL be getting one if it is under $80. If it is more than that I will have to decide later on. |

I think it looks cool  STL is at least doing a good job,and by that I mean getting people familiar with the ocarina by making all these new fancy ones. I will not get it, if I ever advance to a triple, I will get a quality-ocarina of clay. |

I stumbled across a video uploaded by Chen Ching. TNG was interviewed by some British reporter, and in the background are some pics of the plastic triple. So it looks like it will come in blue and green also.

Nah I don't think it's too wrong as long if you have the money for it :P I bet some will see it the same way, because every ocarina sounds different and is suitable for different styles of music. ^^ |

I like the way the green one looks, but I think I'd rather buy my first triple from either Focalink or MapAram. If I had, like, tons and tons of ~extra~ money to throw around, I'd definitely buy it. |

I'm assuming that the logo on those plastic triples says TNG, but I wish we had a closer look. So this is another ocarina that is not being custom made for STL, I see. The big STL logo on theirs made me think otherwise for a bit. |

alright guys i agree with a lot of the various points being made here. i own the Songbird Dragontooth, the STL Double, and a MO Poly G. I absolutely ADOOREE the sweet, amazing tone of my dragontooth and would kill anyone who tried to take it away from me (lol), but i would have to say that i play my double more. even if the quality is a little lower, the added range makes it worth it for me. So, as an ocarina enthusiast who is on an extremely tight budget, i can GUARANTEE that i will buy this ocarina when it comes out if it is under $150 (which is about half the price of a ceramic triple) i love great tone and that is usually the most important thing for me in music/instruments of any kind, but i also know that if i cant find a decent triple under $200, i may never own one in my life. I am looking forward for a chance to test out a triple of SUPPOSEDLY "lower quality" so that i can at least have a chance to play one at all. That's just my humble opinion.

Well, I'm really anxious about this tripple. It's (relatively) low-cost, it's pretty, it's TRIPLE and it seems functional. Since I have to "pay double", this may be my only chance to aquire a triple. |

Haha, sounds a lil' against the whole idea of a *guitar* class, but that's cool that they let you play along! Must sound a lot more interesting. =) Ah yes, as for the ocarinas...Second to liking the sound and playability, I think people should like how their instrument looks, and I really don't like those colors, doesn't matter what shape it is, I couldn't imagine wanting any ocarina or any instrument in those colors. Speaking of shape, it could be due to the material, but they look obese, blobby and ugly. The mouthpiece also looks too large. Dunno about anything else, that's what I can say from looking at the picture. I'm not just hating, this is honestly what I think of these ocarina's appearance.  Maybe the sound is extremely mind-blowingly good?  P.s. A kinda weird though just ocurred to me, wouldn't it be cool if they made Bulborb schemed ocarinas? =P Edited by int3rpo1, Apr 5 2010, 05:47 AM.

Oh, I just saw the video! Sounds great! Then again, Ocarinadiva is an extremely good player. Nevertheless, not worth it if it's over $230, in my opinion. And again, regardless of price, I wouldn't buy those colors. Looks too unprofessional, or like something I'd find at a Toys R Us or Walmart for 20 bucks. |

I don't like the colours very much, either. But these instruments are primarily build for an Asian market, and there may be differences in taste between Asians and Europeans or North Americans I'd like to have a multiple ocarina to travel with me every day. And if I have to choose which is worse: A. an unbreakable plastic triple ocarina in a toyish colour or B. a ceramic triple ocarina in a lot of stylishly coloured pieces Then this decision is pretty easy for me.

Hm...I guess you make a good point. But if you went with Noble, you'd have an ocarina that's unbreakable, *and* that doesn't look like a toy. I guess we'll just have to wait for STL to announce a price to see if it's worth it or not. Knowing STL, it'll be 10-20 bucks less than their regular triples. P.s. Really, imagine any other instrument in those colors...it'd look like a cheap toy! |

The Nobles aren't made of plastic. There has been some misunderstanding concerning the Nobles, apparently. But apart from one Alto C model in red or blue, all are ceramic. But you're right. I don't like my ukuleles in "sunburst" or "redburst" or any similar "burst", either! |

I think you are the one who is misunderstanding! BBCode hat-trick! Anyway, I think they were saying that the Noble singles are made to look professional, and ceramic, despite being plastic. It shows that you can make an ocarina out of plastic and it doesn't have to look cheap, but TNG's plastic triple still looks like a chunky, block of ocarina, despite plastic being just as able to look sleek and refined as a well done Noble, as shown in their plastic ACs. |

I don't think so. int3rpo1 was mentioning the Nobles to be plastic in a different thread, and there has been some confusion on OcTalk about Nobles being plastic, too. Edited by O'Poltergeist, Apr 5 2010, 09:50 AM.

 Someone on OcTalk was saying that those ceramics looked like wood, and that they couldn't believe they were plastic.Goodness, me. Anyway... I'll rephrase that to be my opinion then. If Noble can make a sleek, ceramic-looking ocarina from plastic, why did STL make their high end plastic from 99% pure 'adventure zone'? |

Different countries, different taste? It could be worse, they could look like some of the New Vista instruments! I don't like the colours either, but there seem to be enough customers that do like them, or else they would be bankrupt by now. |

I actually really like how awful and chunky they look. I would buy one if it was cheap enough, but I don't think STL will price it reasonably, and the shipping would be at least $30 alone. Maybe if the ocarina itself were $20... I've heard from people with the red plastic, that it looks very much like a glazed ceramic in person. Not so much the matte blue, but I can see that the glossy red could look like a glaze. Edited by Crowler, Apr 5 2010, 10:36 AM.

I hope that's sarcasm! I think sunburst looks pretty cool. Bursts can look pretty sweet when nicely done. Anyway, maybe I *am* the one misunderstanding. I was under the impression that *all* Nobles were plastic. I...am wrong, it seems? Oh, and the STL triple plastic will almost definitely be over 80 bucks, which means free shipping, as I understand it. And I really don't like the plastic ocarina that STL offers, looks very cheap and thin. Focalink's at least looks sturdy, and sounds much less airy. Amazingly enough, Ocarinadiva makes the plastic STL sound decent. But even with her superior playing skills you can hear that there's a lot of airiness in that ocarina.

I believe that all of their ocarinas, bar two ACs, are ceramic. Their name just comes up a lot when plastics are mentioned, because Noble's plastic ACs are of a very high quality, and are a much better choice than a mediocre ceramic, and much cheaper. |

I think they also have a plastic mini necklace-pendanty thing.
I think you misunderstood something there... I was talking about the colour of Nobles and Maparams, neither of which sell sunburst-patterened ocs. [EDIT]Well it seems I misunderstood... Edited by shirf02, Apr 5 2010, 11:50 AM.

I thought that was plastic, but I had my doubts about whether it was plastic or ceramic. I think we all need some rest! Tthis was in response to 'Poltergeist not liking 'sunburst' patterns on their ukuleles.

The Mini Pendant from Noble is ceramic, too. At least it looks and feels that way.  It also is extremely loud and shrill. The Langley Micro has the same tonic and sounds much more pleasing. |

No harm in getting another triple. In my opinion it would really help because you woulent have to worry dropping the plastic triple. I hope they start selling them soon

That is why I am very skeptical about STL plastic Ocarinas. I do agree that OcarinaDiva makes the STL sound descent, but I still hear the airiness in it, and for me it's a turn off. Im kind of suspicious about the Triple plastic though. I guess all we can do is wait for the reviews. |

I don't really find the plastic triple to be all that unlandish. While the Alto Quad is arguably relatively useless because of just how high those last few notes are, a plastic triple is a cheaper and sturdier answer to those unsure about putting money into the fragile ceramic triples. |
