VktechTOTMC Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Triforce Link 12 Hole Alto C Mediant Tone Ocarina Zelda Cosplay Ceramic Replica + Textbook

To Start: Bought as a cool memento from Zelda, ended up learning song after song of my favorite anime themes as well as Legend of Zelda songs!The Product: A bit smaller than I imagined after receiving it in the mail, the box it came in was nifty and had the ocarina safely held in a bed of Styrofoam, so no damage at all from shipping! The overall glaze of the product is beautiful and smooth, not to mention it resembled the Ocarina of Time perfectly! I had a four-hole version of this years ago, but ended up giving it to a friend since i never used it, but figuring i would enjoy having another ocarina, i opted in buying a more authentic looking 12-hole version and was not disappointed by it! I originally kept it around just to show off, it came with a piece of string that can be tied through the ocarina as a necklace but it didn't really stay tied together so i ended up using the string for a bookmark in my journal. The ocarina also came with a little booklet explaining the notes each finger pattern played along with a few easy songs to learn. Overall I ended up ordering two music booklets from Songbird Ocarina and began to practice playing the ocarina. Now as i stated earlier i once had a simple 4-hole ocarina and knew how to play it decently, so it wasn't too hard to learn how to play this ocarina. I will say i highly recommend this product to anyone looking to learn to play the ocarina! its fun and sizable enough to have sitting around and practice throughout the day. The box the ocarina came in is also worth keeping for those who don't wish to invest in a protective bag for traveling with the ocarina. The box, itself is perfect for any kind of travel and i went as far as to take it on a trip to cuba and it kept the ocarina safe and undamaged while fitting easily into my backpack for the plane flights!To Finish: An awesome Legend of Zelda replica! Functional and easy to learn, definitley worth buying for any Zelda or Ocarina Fan!

I got this for Christmas today and right out of the package it was a huge success. The sound is amazing and rich and it sounds really beautiful. It is indeed made of ceramic and comes in a few different colors. The design is very neat and it is very well done. The whole thing is fairly lightweight and comes with a neck string for easy carrying in the go, and the string is very sturdy if tied well and carefully so dropping it should not be a worry. It is somewhat loud and it does not seem to have any other volume except for the one it plays at, so you'll have to be careful when playing around others. As an instument it is fairly easy to learn. This specific model has one octave and the major C scale it is tuned to is easy to learn, but the chromatids will require some practice. As a musician myself (Tuba), I think this is a great instument with great sound and great quality and at this price is a real bargain.

Will be posting up pictures later. Product arrived in excellent condition. I got it for decorative use only, since I actually read the description and know it's a ceramic remake of the video game ocarina, I wasn't expecting it to be tuned. Which is isn't. So anyone looking to actually play songs from Zelda that sound exact, I suggest you go buy yourself a legitimate instrument. It's a little heavy, but that just makes it feel all the more authentic.I will note that you CAN play songs on this ocarina; it just isn't tuned. The high notes are airy.It came in the Zelda/Link box as shown, along with a booklet showing how to play a few songs (twinkle twinkle little star, happy birthday, etc) and it came with a small cord to wrap it around your neck.There are no chips, cracks, or bubbles in the paint. It's very breakable. Anyone that has ever dealt with ceramic will know how to care for it. I don't recommend this for a child, it'll only wind up broken. It's mostly for decorative use and will look great on any shelf or desk! It fits perfectly in your hands and is fun to play (if you don't mind your songs sounding a little less than adequate)

I don't play ocarina so I can't speak to the quality of the instrument itself. However, it makes a great display piece. It's a fun way to say you're a fan of LoZ.

I find this to be extremely well crafted. The fire kilned ceramic is very well safely packaged in the box, which is a special box inside the shipment box, which us Legend of Zelda fans will get. It is tuned very professionally as the description says, and the notes are very sharp. It is, in the beginning, hard to hit the higher notes, but you learn to play them. I have found no flaws with this. The only thing that could make this better is if they sent a case with it. But you can find them for cheap prices. I was definitely able to tell it was hand crafted, as the process of hand-making a ceramic ocarina takes a couple of days. And this being so, after I ordered mine, it was shipped a couple of days after I ordered it. And also the ring around the mouthpiece with the triforce on it is very nicely done. I don't see any flaws in it. All-in-all, this is perfect for it's type of ocarina. I don't think you are going to find anything better for its price out on the market anywhere.

So I'll start by saying it's a very decent built Ocarina and has a nicely done paint. This is not tuned correctly to what most people are looking for in an ocarina. When playing the full scale the last 3 notes are off and even wrong. There are different techniques and positions that help beginners Tru to get that sound, but you can definitely tell the difference. A great decorative peice, although not surr why the ceramic and stand is included as it literally doesn't work at all?As an avid Legend of Zelda fan I obviously wanted to learn the songs from the games. I was able to use this to learn those songs, but they sound off, kind of like if you expected to hear a flute playing something but instead it's a kid on a recorder.I would highly recommend this for younger kids wanting to learn to play without really caring about sound quality. If you want an Ocarina that sounds the way its supposed to, you will spend 60-100 dollars easily.
