Beginner Ocarina: Which Inexpensive Ocarina Should I Buy on Amazon?

[@afagasl]

Finally a TH-cam video that’s not from 5 years ago so I can comment something like “what ocarina is this” and they’ll actually respond 😭

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

Haha! Yep, and questions you have I will definitely answer to the best of my ability 😊

[@afagasl]

@Musical Molly Khan thank you! 😄

[@otakisenpai8377]

Lol same.. very underrated instrument

[@thtpst7827]

Lol 🤣 that's so true...

[@PersonO-o]

Yea that is true 😂

[@pigleyjr]

the "uh oh" 2:35 had me thinking the ghost of a child was haunting me

[@Fastestmethod]

She definitely passed the vibe check

[@gabrielookami8774]

haha your face when you played that replica, admiring you for playing the full range despite of the sound :D !!

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

Haha, thanks! It was definitely something 🤣

[@Donjosue]

i know this was made some years ago, but that Ocarinawind one sounds amazing!!!

[@KerinGedge]

Couldn't help noticing Catan in the background :p Great channel!

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

I love board games! Thanks for watching 😊

[@raulacevedo-esteves9493]

My reason to get an Ocarina is Nancy Rumble. She is a great player.

[@CrimFerret]

It's nice to see somebody actually not recommending plastic ones for beginners. I don't have the best musical ear, but even I could tell that ceramic ones sound a lot better. I have an ocarina on it's way from Songbird (Dragon's Tooth). A friend has one and it sounds amazing. They also indicated it would be a good one for me since I have large hands. Not the cheapest, but less than I paid for my computer keyboard and I won't have to upgrade as I learn and get better at it.

[@That_Wise_Sage_]

Thank you so much! I just really really like Zelda and wanted a professional opinion before I tried it out. Have a blessed day❤️❤️

[@dxzebeats]

I love how you make a point, then giggle 🤣

[@hu_tao3062]

i wish they could put videos on amazon to show how the ocarinas sound

[@chuckbowen5024]

I got the AC. Seems tuned fairly well.

[@jwolpert1310]

Sweet ocarina and a sweet collection of board games

[@PolyMathWannaBe62]

such a beautiful smile. Brightened up my day.

[@mallow_animates6183]

Thank you for making this video! My father gave me the ocarina of time about three years ago because we are both Zelda fans. At the time I wasn't as interested in music as I am now. I play a few instruments now like, piano, guitar, ukulele, and recorder. I finally decided to get the ocarina out and started learning more about and after a bite I felt like it was out of tune. after seeing videos about ocarinas, it doesn't sound the same as the others. I'm glad I found these types of videos so I know I'm not crazy. :')

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

How exciting that you're learning a new instrument! The ocarina can be so tricky to play in tune, especially if it's not well tuned to begin with. Keep trying and it will get better for sure 😊

[@gamingwithlucas2862]

I usually wouldn’t choose this instrument as my first choose as a percussionist but as soon I heard this Instrument I fell in love. I mainly play glockenspiels, kalimbas, and drums, also keyboard to a degree 😅, hopefully once I get the instrument I’ll get the hang of it

[@musicalmiscellany]

I wish I would've seen this video before my first (and only so far) ocarina purchase. Ha ha. I ended up getting an Ocarina Wind Sweet Potato and honestly... it seems like I made a pretty good choice. I did a little research and found out the Zelda-themed ones tend to be out of tune so good to hear your experience has been the same. You're 100% right with your assessment of the Aklot. I too thought some of the high notes sounded questionable. It's not that way on the Ocarina Wind which appears to track much better. Additionally, I've heard nothing but good feedback about STL Ocarina (I believe you introduced me to them in one of your vids), so if I was to get another, I'd probably go there. Thanks for the rundown and sharing your experiences. It's always good to hear people's "hands on" impressions of different brands. Holy cow this was a long comment. I guess that means I liked the video.

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

Ha, glad you liked it! Yep, if the difference between $20 and $50 doesn't mean a lot to you, I think STL has some of the best options! The Ocarina Wind seem really nice though, I'm glad you like yours 😊

[@thtpst7827]

I'm getting one I love how flute like they sound, I play the tin whistle but I'm looking to play with this one too for fun ...

[@StalwartShinobi]

Your joy and enthusiasm is amazing! I haven't learned an instrument before and thought for the price I would love to try one even if I can only play one song from a zelda game

[@StalwartShinobi]

P. S your tabletop game collection looks great too :)

[@Humainskate]

thank you for the insights on the Ocean Wave!

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

Glad to help 😊

[@donaldkershaw6371]

Another instrument I’ve heard of but didn’t understand until your videos. Thanks Molly

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

I'm glad 😊

[@tobiasfroehlich5483]

Awesome, thank you, just ordered one from ocarina wind :-)

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

I hope you love it 😊

[@billyposeyii9705]

Thank you so much I tryed looking at other videos but they were saying get some pretty expensive ones but thanks to you I can know get a good quality ocarina for a lower price.

[@oscarulises7915]

¡Excelente!
Muchas gracias, me sirvió mucho tu video.
Ya se que ocarina comprar 🙂

[@garrettcombs8242]

I love your videos so much.I will be getting several ocarinas once that u mention from ocarina wind the wave.Anyway, also buying some kalimbas as well.I can't sing at all.I just need something soothing and something easy to learn.I love your possivable attitude.Carrie Kritcher

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy your musical journey 😊

[@orcenstilldrawz]

This is such a helpful video! Thank you so much for this amazing video

[@YOUR_NARRATOR975]

Short answer: only the night by noble or plastic OOT replica by songbird

[@xSilencex_]

Ocarina del Mar (Poseidon) 4:16
Ocarina Amatista 4:39

[@xSilencex_]

Yo creo que estan muy iguales
Solo que la manera de tocarla de uno es diferente a la otra..
La del mar es fluida (por la manera de sus dedos) logra fluidez..
Sin embargo en la morada/amatista
Suelta los dedos haciendo un efecto de salto (llegando a producir ciertos cortes)
Por decirlo así...
Pero imaginándome ambos tocadas exactamente igual, diría que son geniales ambas.

[@chazboney9076]

thank you for the informative video!!👍

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

You're welcome! 😊

[@IceBear56862]

I’m so sad that I really didn’t come across this video sooner before viewing recommendations. I was so excited to learn the ocarina and play it for this one girl, but I became disappointed upon hearing the sound of the HuHu Ocarina sold on Amazon. Definitely returning and getting a refund to buy the songbirds. Thank you, Miss!

[@sirfizz6518]

I'm mainly a guitarist so it's kinda strange to approach an instrument that will be permanently in or out of tune lol

[@alfiemott2199]

Thank you so much for this, I'm looking to get started playing the ocarina and it's so difficult to find good beginner ocarinas. I was wondering if you would recommend Ocarina Wind generally as a good brand? I've been looking at a cracked white ceramic one of theirs, and was wondering if it will be as good as the blue one you talk about in this video? Thanks!!

[@langstonstevens6551]

this is an old video so commenting probably does not matter HOWEVER an ocarina that you did not mention is the osawa soprano c
specifically soprano because it's 25 dollars while the alto is 35. they both sound wonderful eventhough they are plastic and cheap.

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

I've seen the Osawa but haven't tried one yet! I'm honestly not a huge fan of soprano ocarinas, the sound is a little too high for me, but they are usually less expensive which is nice 😊

[@Vic-Valentine]

youre the most bubbly cute person ive ever seen, great video

[@andycoppes]

This video and your amazon philosophy are on point. Are we microwave culture now? Hit the button and dont even wait the recommended two minute standing time. We will have our packages on the morrow... 👍

[@billyposeyii9705]

Hey I bought the ocean ocarina from ocarina wind and sadly it doesnt play that well I am happy that you got a good one though

[@xSilencex_]

La morada me encanta como suena
Purpple
Y la ocarina ocean = nice.

[@isaaclugo1717]

gotta hate how the ocarinas of time on amazon are pure doodoo ;~; they look so beautiful tho

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

I know! I think Songbird Ocarinas makes a nice version 😊

[@Elviciozo]

What's the difference between a wooden and a ceramic one? Does the wooden one requiere special care? Or what's the difference as far as sound is concerned? I've been watching/listening videos of ppl playing both and and can't hear a defining difference

[@niaomi6]

Do you recommend any song books or books that teach good techniques? I’m trying to get into it! Thanks. :)

[@velerina2017]

What about wooden ocarinas. I mean they are less fragile as well and also smaller ones

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

I do have a small wooden one that I like! I would love to get a larger one someday but they are quite a bit more expensive than clay ocarinas for a nice one.

[@THGS-gu4fh]

you seem so sweet!! i love this video and ur laugh is so adorable

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

Aww thanks 😊

[@chelseaf.3352]

My first ocarina was an OcarinaWind and it's horrible and out of tune. It's the white one with a crackle finish (forgot the exact name) so definitely not all of them are equal.

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

Thanks for the info!

[@martinwright1575]

I loooove every time you smile 😂😂😂, you're so sweet, I can't 😆😆

[@markirish7599]

Absolutely beautiful. And the instrument is cool to 🤗

[@Hello-ue2xt]

I just got a Night By Noble Plastic Ocarina. It sounds normal I guess but I just can’t grasp the high notes.

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

The high notes are tricky on it! They definitely sound a bit airy. I'm sure you will get better with practice 😊

[@freedomofmotion]

You're just a delight 😁

[@KiboSarkyu]

I have the "mountain echo" ocarina from ocarina wind and was wondering if it is actually really good and I'm not playing it properly or if it's bad and out if tune

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

I haven't tried that one! My ocarina from them is fantastic, but I can't speak for all of them

[@KiboSarkyu]

@@MusicalMollyKhan I'm sure it's fine, cause I made a beautiful sound from it once before, and recorded it, but can't seem to do it again, I bought it from Amazon for 40 or 60 bucks

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

@@KiboSarkyu it can be soo hard to get a consistently good tone on ocarina! Every minute of practice improves your abilities though 😊 Good luck!

[@KiboSarkyu]

@@MusicalMollyKhan thanks you! It seems like such an easy instrument to play, but once you start playing it it's like "how do I even play this"

[@cariocajin]

You can't get any cute-ier or girly even if you try. Thanks for the info.

[@DARKSIDEART2022]

Can you tell me if that Wave Ocarina would be good for learning this piece? It's much smaller than this one from Amazon. If you suggest a different model, I'd love to find out. I just gotta lean that part of the song, lol. Thanks!!

[@mgravez4838]

Hi! I play the flute for a pretty long time now and I would like to try ocarinas. Is it actually easier if I already know music? Thank you!

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

Oh yes! If you can read music, the most challenging part of ocarina is learning to blow the notes in tune. And you'll have a leg up there as well from playing flute 😊

[@mgravez4838]

@@MusicalMollyKhan Awesome! Thank you so much! :)

[@lulistarlightaux9636]

Literally the only dislikes on this video are from the people who can't get a legend of Zelda ocarina because they're literally made like crap.

[@MusicalMollyKhan]

Haha! If you do want one I think Songbird Ocarinas makes a nice version 😊

[@ME-gt5gn]

I got a 13 pound white ocarina and it’s fine

[@alman_asaf]

Cool!

Which ones

I have that one but it’s 30 dollars 😬

Aww, that stinks that they raised the prices. I hope you like it though! 😊

I have an OcarinaWind ocarina (A gift from someone), and it's not that bad despite the price being under $40!
