recorders sound awful compared to ocarina

OMG!! I was looking for this one everywhere and couldn't find it! I always get simple gifts and Lord of the dance confused, but I would have been happy to find the tabs for either one!

Lovely video

People in the comments are so weird, they just like that ocarinas are quiter than recorders

I’m Angel for 4th grade Prlosky❤❤❤

She is my teacher

Amazing class. Youre awesome player. Thank you😊

1:49 flute, 3:13 ocarina.

That orange recorder is a crime against music.

😁👍

👍👍

One can see that you have much experience teaching kids. Thank you for this video. You have made a little girl happy ☺️

Before I started playing the ocarina, I never realized that there was such a huge difference between certain instruments. I mean, I know you always get what you pay for, but I never realized just how bad a dollar store recorder could sound. They should all have the same, basic design. But apparently, there's a lot less quality when you pay less. Kind of like those really cheap Zelda replicas on Amazon. Even though they're ceramic, they're extremely hit and miss on quality. Even the one I purchased is a plastic Ocarina of Time replica from Songbird Ocarina which cost almost twice the amount as some of those bad replicas on Amazon, but the sound is much better and more spot on. All that being said, I much prefer the ocarina to the recorder. The ocarina has a much softer and sweeter tone to it. The recorder sounds a lot harsher and much more flute-like in comparison. Of course, one factor could be that it's being recorded (no pun intended) at a closer range, which could also distort the sound a bit more. But I'd still take the ocarina any day of the week. But I have a harder time with the transverse style because my wrists just don't seem to want to turn that much, but perhaps one with the mouthpiece that branches off more to the side would be easier for me to play. But for now, I'll stick to my modified pendant Kokiri Edition which I play almost on a nightly basis. :)

I was taught recorder at school. It put me off woodwinds for a decade and a half until I tried an ocarina. Now I have multiple ocarinas and carry at least one ocarina with me at all times. I've heard others also say that playing recorder at school put them off learning to play an instrument. Please, don't use recorders to teach students about music.

great lesson thank you. I got my ocarina only yesterday. Feels great I can already play something on it.

Recorders have a more solid and less windy sound. They also crack very easily. Ocarinas sound more windy but they also sound sweeter, softer and calm. You'll easily know it's a wind instrument. It's more relaxing to hear music from Ocarina.

Merci pour la leçon mais j'aimerais savoir un truc, j'ai un ocarina 6trous mais je trouve que quand j'en joue, le son est trop aiguë, il y a t'il une façon de soufflé pour que ce soit moins aiguë ?

You can hear the difference in the Recorders but to me all the Ocarinas sound the same.

As a recorder player I’m kinda biased my favorite song to play is little fugue on recorder

We had to use the recorder at school when I was a kid. I always had the issue you have with the lower notes too, they kinda crack... Even the difference between the best recorder you had and the cheapest ocarina is jaw dropping...

Great video, thanks.

I went to your website and I can’t find that book you are using. I also don’t see where or how to pay for purchases. Do you take PayPal? Thank you. I’m enjoying your videos

I might be biased in my own taste, but I prefer the tone of any of those ocarinas to the recorders used. Though it was eye opening to see a recorder actually played competently. Good video demonstration!

What would you recommend for a middle-aged guy who can barely read sheet music enough to sing along in church but wants to learn how to play a portable instrument? I've tried the harmonica, but I can't get the breathe-in breathe-out patterns right. And I've tried a tiny four-hole ocarina, but I think I'd prefer a lower and broader range of pitches.

In my opinion your recorders sound so bad because you blow too much, you are awkward with your fingering and you tend to want to somehow prove that the ocarina sounds better.

I have a Ocarina that has 6 holes in the front and two in the back but can not find any video on how to play this type of Ocarina,

thank you so much for this video its really helpful!!

Thank you for the comparison. Despite the quality of the product, ocarina have cleaner / solid transition between notes. On recorder, i can hear "redundant" sounds. Our fingers and breath must be very precise / sync to avoid those "imperfection" - unless it's intentional. So with oracrina i think beginners could sound "better", while with recorder one might need more practice - yet it can produce more variety of sounds, such as bending. Both have their own unique sound.

i cant wait for you to guide me when i get my ocarina! hopefully the decorative wings dont get in the way of my hands and the way i hold it.

How far do you place the ocarina in your mouth? Do you just hole the word (two) for a prolonged note?

Ocarina's are my favorites me personally i prefer 4 holed ocarinas because get this even with less holes ocarinas sound good and i think they have a very natural sound and a nice echo

Wooden recorders are better, this is not doing the recorder any kind of service in my opinion, sorry. You did great on the ocarina, but the recorder-part was a bit of a swing and a miss.

Go for the yamaha recorder anyday over the dollar store one

The tilt is better. Carry the brown wood one

You play so beautiful

I need help, in my ocarina The D is the same sound as the E

Hi

Actually anything sounds better than recorder.

Use of wooden one wooden ones are better

I love the lesson’s please keep them coming! I just received the books!

When I go to the higher notes (B-F) they sound very off tune and airy. All fingers are covering the holes, and it's a professional instrument by STL. Not exactly sure what the issue is

I like you

yay 1 1.5 2

:) :) :)

nice ocrina lessons 😀

Keep it up!!

Recorder makes sense to me than ocarina which fingerings hard I love ocarina of Time though
