I have 9 twelve hole ocarinas. Three of them are plastic, and the rest are ceramic. However, my first ocarina was one of those 3 plastic ones, and now that one doesn't work... It was a cheap one that I found online. 7 of those 12 hole ocarinas are from STL, though, so you might be able to tell that I'm a loyal customer of theirs. I'll never look back at those cheap ocarinas from the internet now that I found STL. STL is one of the best out there when it comes to ocarinas.
I am seriously considering ordering one this week. Might as well learn a new skill! I never want to stop learning. That would be a boring life if I did.
Same! I got a Sailor Moon compact one and even though I’m inexperienced even the simplest notes sound off compared to this...like it’s too muffled? I guess is the best way to put it
@George McClintock from my very minor knowledge on ocarina I have heard plastic as demonstrated and ceramic.. ceramic generally being for more advanced players due to enhanced price... I am starting with ceramic because I am naturally musically talented
I'm usually a clarinet player, but I've been considering the idea of getting an ocarina and this video definitely made me want one even more! I'm sure I'll be back to watch your videos so I can learn! :)
flute playing is not easy. but nothing impossible. i also play flute from last two year. But Its new concept for me. I love this instrument sound.😍😍 And your instrument playing techniques are owsome 👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏God bless you.
i don’t own an ocarina. i might buy one though. i know piano and ukulele and i was wondering if the ocarina is hard. probably gonna but one now. update: got one and love it.
It is honestly really easy to learn! I had my fiance (who has never played an instrument before) try this tutorial and he was able to play it! Make sure to use my code "Gina" for 10% off your order!
And if youre able to learn the 12 hole ocarina, well congrats my friend, you can also add flute to the list of instruments you know, because they are very similar in fingerings
I'm so glad to hear that! I'll have more videos every month (one coming a week from today actually!). Let me know if there are any topics that would be helpful for me to cover!
@@GinaLuciani so I have jumped the gun a bit and got into triple Chambers and I don't know if it's anything a video can help with I'm having a slight discomfort holding it and covering the main holes for the first chamber
Just bought my first ocarina...thank you for the discount code! I didn't realize until after placing an order they had less expensive beginner ones...I was so mesmerized by a beautiful green ceramic one and I couldn't resist 😊
Oh how fun! Honestly, if you're planning on playing for awhile, then the ceramic will be amazing for you! Plastic ones are definitely cheaper and great to begin with, but most people will graduate to a ceramic one at some point :)
I have an ocarina collection. 16 different ocarinas. Most of them are STL although I do have a few from other brands/companies since at that time I was on a budget lol. But my STL Ocarinas are by far my favorites because they are properly tuned and sound great! Much more so than any of my other ocarinas
@@GinaLuciani Maybe my Zelda 12 hole ocarina but I also have some Element ocarinas. My favorite out of the Element ocarinas is the Shadow one because it has a nice and low pitch, and because of that, it's easy on my ears
Thank you so much for this intro. Like everyone else with a 3-d printer, I just made an ocarina and have no idea how to play it. This is super helpful.
I got bought an ocarina for my birthday as a guitarist/stringed musician and beginner pianist, I tried to learn the harmonica but found it too loud but the ocarina sounds beautiful and I think I can definitely learn though videos 🤟
Being a mouthorgan player for the past 7 years I have come across this instrument For the first time through a gift. I am 74 now and puzzled with this weighty and only blowing instrument but your vedio give me some hope that I can make some headway. I will give a try.thank you
Planning on nabbing myself an ocarina soon because why not coming from a musician who is naturally good at any instrument... except for wind.. this will provide a fun and rewarding challenge
Thanks for these instructional videos. When I was in China 2 years ago, I bought a clay ocarina with 6 holes from a street vender in Beijing. I had no idea what kind of instrument it was, but it was a neat keepsake. I couldn't learn from the song book provided as I am totally blind, and now that I know what it is, I am able to look on youtube. That's how I came across your videos. Would you mind doing another short video on the correct finger positions in more detail. I could kinda tell where the thumbs should go, but other times, your instruction was more visual. Aside from that, your guidance is straightforward and easy to understand. Thank you. :)
You explained it really well, thank you! In the new Animal Crossing you can get a Ocarina right in the beginning, and I had so much fun playing it together with my friends ingame I figured I should actually try learning to play it. Unfortunately my Ocarina sounds nothing like yours, especially the higher notes. I got it as a gift a few years ago and I think it's more meant for displaying it rather than playing :c
I'm so glad that you think that my tutorial was helpful! I've received some in the past too that were more for decoration :( STL has some really affordable (like $25!) ocarinas that are for playing!
Gina Luciani I’ll definitely look into getting one that is meant for playing! I checked out their website and they have some seriously pretty Ocarinas. But since I’m in Germany the cheapest shipping option is 40$, plus probably another 30 for customs and fees.
This is great, thank you for teacher us. I already have ocarina (12) for almost a year but i can only do is copy the photo shown I've seen. But not totally reading the note.
Watching a playthrough of Majora's Mask made me look this up. I like the concept of the plastic ocarina, 'cause I'd be afraid of shattering a ceramic one. Me and breakable things don't mix well.
i am a beginner flute player but i barely know any song to play. mostly did it for fun by ear and my father really discouraged me. i dont play zelde either but ive been dying to learn an ocarine for so long. i finally bought a small bird shaped 8 hole ocarina to start with. i cant wait!! thanks for the video. really helpfull. i know i have to practise outside to prevent my dad and neighbours being annoyed. hence the reason i still dont know any good songs to play after 1.5 years. but for the ocarine. i want that.
Im here because I got one off a trading post recently and it had no instructions on how to play. The lady there said there are videos on youtube on how to play it. She said in the nicest way possible to figure it out yourself
1:25 for synth players this is the ocarina equivalent of setting the attack on an oscillator's ADSR envelope to its lowest setting whilst the former is the equivalent of turning it up a little.
@@PercabethYessss adjusting the 'Attack' on most synthesizers determines how suddenly the note will play. If the Attack is set to a low setting the note will play sharply and suddenly. If the attack is high then the note will gradually fade in.
after watching you play ocarina for few months, I decided to take a plunge and get myself one. Feels awkward trying to hold it, but I guess that comes to any new instrument.
Very nice to be taught ocarina basics by such a beautiful, talented lady! Really though, I've recently been trying out my three new STL Zelda ocarinas and am looking forward to learning along with your videos!
I just finished my first steps following your videos and I'm really excited. It took me a while to figure out my "taah" wasn't articulated enough so it sounded weird but now I got it right 🎉🎉🎉
Today I ordered my first STL zelda ocarina after being a ocarina of time fan since childhood & restarting the game on my 2011 nin-3DS x'D (which I also solely bought for ocarina of time back then) Lovely video, I'm hyped for receiving it & start learning. You make it look very modern :D
Zelda got me into ocarinas too, and the ocarinas I have from STL sound pretty much identical to the ocarinas from Ocarina of Time. Too bad they can't do the things that the ocarinas in the game can do lol
I bought the Ocarina because of an episode of the show Lexx where a character plays a beautiful song on it. I look forward to these lessons so that i may learn how to play it. :)
We’ve gone a little crazy and purchased a lot of ocarinas in the last couple of weeks. There are so many beautiful ones. We have made sure to purchase tenors bass altos and Sopranos. We are definitely committed to wanting to learn. But want to ask if you would please make more videos! As we have four ocarina lovers in the family who are absolute beginners. Searching out there for a lot of resources. Made all of our purchases through STL with your code. Along with music which include sheet music (did not realize what I was buying ) and none of us know how to read it. Desperately seeking resources to learn how. Thank you for the videos that you’ve made but wanted to know if you wouldn’t mind making some more! ❤️❤️❤️
The ocarina has a tremendous, haunting, and soulful sound. I love what it adds to many tunes. This is a very good tutorial but, no offense, I am not interested in learning to play one 😊 but I know there are people who are so great job in producing this video. 👍
Totally agree, it has such a cool sound! If playing isn't your thing, I have a bunch of videos of me playing different TV/Movie tunes that you might be interested in :)
I don't know about anyone else, I didn't learn but I liked the Ocarina stands. back to practice from the start and start making my own stands instead of a Safe armor box.
There is a recording on naxos with the toronto chamber orchestra directed by kenneth malon of Leopold Mozarts or Edmund Angerer of the toy symphony or cassation in G where the ocarina is used!
So it's a very rare occasion that I make any kind of comment to any video but I wanted to say THANK YOU. I've been a fan of link and the Zelda series since I was a kid. Just recently decided to buy one of these and found your videos. I just wanted to say keep it up and that I very much appreciate you.
I have both but the 6 hole ocarina is easier to hold to the lips and fingers. 12 hole is very awkward to hold and to blow into. Amazon sells them. Cheap. The top whole in the back is for air to escape. If air doesn't escape no sound comes out
I wanted to learn an instrument because I was bored, and I learnt that the ocarina is an easy one to learn and this tutorial made it look so, my first ocarina is coming in two days
The blue plastic ocarina is very similar to the indigenous style ocarinas of Central and South America although there are a lot of this type of musical instruments with globular shapes human shapes whistles and flutes made of ceramic
So uhh, question. When I play all notes sound air-y and there's not really a full sound. I've played several years of clarinet so that might be influencing how I play it, but I want to know if this is a common problem or if it's the vibrato all the other comments are talking about and you'll do a video on that. Please and thank you!
Hmm, you should be able to make a more clear sound without vibrato (video coming soon!). It could possibly be your instrument... Where is yours from? Unfortunately a lot of ocarinas are made for decoration/toy so they don't play well. That's why I like the ones from STL because they are high-quality and meant to actually be played!
This is so much fun. I looked at the reviews and stuff and I put a decent strap on it, my ocarina, and I’m glad I did too because it slipped right out of my hands right off… maybe I’ll just stick to songs that have low notes… Thanks for starting at the very beginning. I didn’t know what an ocarina was till I stumbled across one on the Internet about a week ago, it was so intriguing I had to buy one right away… I figure buy one first research later… Anyway I’m enjoying myself and I’ll try to pay attention and practice
I just wanted to know what the ocarina should sound like, but this tutorial does seem very good if I *did* want to learn! Perhaps I will someday, for Samira.
Thanks for the video. I stumbled on this instrument while looking at mandolins...weird. Anyway, thanks for a nice beginner tutorial. Now I want to play this. It seems fun.
@@GinaLuciani I bought one and just received it the other day. I am still working on creating a consistent sound. But I worked on playing a basic scale. All my LOZ friends think I"m pretty cool. My husband thinks I'm losing my mind. I think this is just my midlife crisis in action. :)

Hope you have fun!

I am seriously considering ordering one this week. Might as well learn a new skill! I never want to stop learning. That would be a boring life if I did.
for some reason i'm invested in mastering the ocarina now..
*link will be so proud*
Lol he silently will
The legend of zelda got me here and now I want one more than my soul
Love that! Hope you decide to get one - they are so much fun to play! I'll actually be doing a tutorial next month on how to play Saria's Song ;)

@@shestheone1503 Thank you, I'm looking at you tube reviews to find a nice beginner Ocarina.
So, I try using my ocarina and I think is more of a collector’s thing because It didn’t sound at all like that 😫😩

I tought do too first, but you have to get into it.

As a clarinet player, you'll have a really easier transition to ocarina!
Do it!
I already bought one🙃 I'm waiting for it to arrive
@@GinaLuciani that's good! I play clarinet and im getting an ocarina for Christmas!
Her: explains how to make different sounds by blowing different ways
Me: they sound the same.
I know, I couldn't tell the difference either.
Glad I'm not the only one
It was like that for me at first but the more I practiced the scale the sounds got more clear
They definitely don't sound the same to a trained ear.
@@adee52712 I marvel at the trained ear's ability to hear the difference like a chef that can tell the differences in taste.

What kind did you buy? I'm completely new to this and would love to give it a try. Not too expensive I hope.

Totally agree, it has such a cool sound! If playing isn't your thing, I have a bunch of videos of me playing different TV/Movie tunes that you might be interested in :)
My SIL and I just got the 6 hole and are excited to learn. I’m looking for videos to help us and this is so helpful
This was a great presentation.
Thanks
I love STL
Thank you!
Thanks a lot wanted to try a new instrument under quarantine as i dont have my guitar here and will try the ocarina. This is the first vid i found.
Most people think about Zelda while i'm thinking of MOTHER
Either way they're both good games
I don't know about anyone else, I didn't learn but I liked the Ocarina stands. back to practice from the start and start making my own stands instead of a Safe armor box.
How douse she make these waiver sounds, my just sounds like a train:(
I'm doing a video soon (hopefully in August) on how to do this technique called "vibrato"!
I’m only here because the song of storms! It’s my all time favourite Zelda song and I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the ocarina! :D
Every time she says ocarina I expect to hear ocarina of time
There is a recording on naxos with the toronto chamber orchestra directed by kenneth malon of Leopold Mozarts or Edmund Angerer of the toy symphony or cassation in G where the ocarina is used!
I didn't know that, thanks for sharing that!
STL ocarina is a great place for ocarinas
I agree!
The majority of my ocarina collection is STL Ocarinas
Ocarina's sound is so magical and calmly
Who's here because of new horizons
I am. Cause I have been looking for am instrument to play for a while :p
Patriotic Waifu hahaha i am, just because of the dumb clay ocarina
I’m here bc if ocarina if time and I bought one that is a replica of the game one 😂😂
I’m here for ocarina if time cause I feel nostalgic from ocarina of time (3D tho cause I’m like12)
I am
So it's a very rare occasion that I make any kind of comment to any video but I wanted to say THANK YOU. I've been a fan of link and the Zelda series since I was a kid. Just recently decided to buy one of these and found your videos. I just wanted to say keep it up and that I very much appreciate you.
I haven’t got my ocarina yet. But I’m still gonna watch the videos :)
Got an ocarina for my b-day 2 days ago i think its time to start mastering it
Yes!! Do it!
I have both but the 6 hole ocarina is easier to hold to the lips and fingers. 12 hole is very awkward to hold and to blow into. Amazon sells them. Cheap.
The top whole in the back is for air to escape.
If air doesn't escape no sound comes out
I wanted to learn an instrument because I was bored, and I learnt that the ocarina is an easy one to learn and this tutorial made it look so, my first ocarina is coming in two days
It would really help to explain what each note is.
I know but maybe there are some other people that does not know.
You’ve been extremely helpful.
The blue plastic ocarina is very similar to the indigenous style ocarinas of Central and South America although there are a lot of this type of musical instruments with globular shapes human shapes whistles and flutes made of ceramic
Thank you for this. I have been having such a hard time tuning because it doesn't match up well to a tuner app, so this really helped.
Glad it was helpful!
What kind of ocarina should i get as a beginner? C Major? Tenor? etc
I just bought an ocarina from STL using your code. I am so excited to learn how to play 😁 and all of your tutorials are wonderful, thank you
I have a clairinet and was exploring other instruments this one is really pretty
You would have a super easy transition to Ocarina if you already play clarinet :)
I just got mine a few minutes ago and found your channel you have earned a subscriber
I just got my first ocarina yesterday for Christmas! It's a dark blue Ocarina of Time from STL Ocarina! I've learned Epona's Song so far.
So uhh, question. When I play all notes sound air-y and there's not really a full sound. I've played several years of clarinet so that might be influencing how I play it, but I want to know if this is a common problem or if it's the vibrato all the other comments are talking about and you'll do a video on that. Please and thank you!
Hmm, you should be able to make a more clear sound without vibrato (video coming soon!). It could possibly be your instrument... Where is yours from? Unfortunately a lot of ocarinas are made for decoration/toy so they don't play well. That's why I like the ones from STL because they are high-quality and meant to actually be played!
@@GinaLuciani I don't really know. I just got it for Christmas last year. I'll just keep trying and see if it'll work. Thank you!
I've just finished to 3D print a 12 holes ocarina and I have no idea how to play it! Thank you
This is so much fun. I looked at the reviews and stuff and I put a decent strap on it, my ocarina, and I’m glad I did too because it slipped right out of my hands right off… maybe I’ll just stick to songs that have low notes… Thanks for starting at the very beginning. I didn’t know what an ocarina was till I stumbled across one on the Internet about a week ago, it was so intriguing I had to buy one right away… I figure buy one first research later… Anyway I’m enjoying myself and I’ll try to pay attention and practice
I just wanted to know what the ocarina should sound like, but this tutorial does seem very good if I *did* want to learn! Perhaps I will someday, for Samira.
thanks for the info. i have a project for my physics class about ...well... the physics of an ocarina! and i know nothing about music haha!
That's so cool! Have so much fun!
@@GinaLuciani you kinda saved me! I just sent my project 2 days ago and just waiting for the grade. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. I stumbled on this instrument while looking at mandolins...weird. Anyway, thanks for a nice beginner tutorial. Now I want to play this. It seems fun.
Haha, that is funny you found them when looking for mandolins! You should try them out - super fun to play :)
@@GinaLuciani I bought one and just received it the other day. I am still working on creating a consistent sound. But I worked on playing a basic scale. All my LOZ friends think I"m pretty cool. My husband thinks I'm losing my mind. I think this is just my midlife crisis in action. :)
