![]() If you're up for the challenge, you can look up YouTube videos to see if it plays well enough for your standards. And it so happens that STL has a plastic triple ocarina for around 65 dollars that comes in many different colors. I haven't used STL ocarina, but they are a reputable brand where you can find affordable doubles. I like them when I need them, but I just don't enjoy them like singles. Also, keep in mind that I'm not an active multi-chamber player. I can make other suggestions, but I think this is a good start. I don't have a double from them (I have a triple), but generally they just feel slightly chonkier. The only good plastic triple I've found has gotten so expensive that an ICO might be a better option now.įor ICO, their prices are affordable but they instruments seem heavier to me. STL's plastic triple isn't NEARLY as good as their double. Both the Songbird and Zelda ceramic doubles are ok, but kinda meh. The STL plastic double for $40 is a good deal and if you can find one, go for it if you don't want to spend a lot of money. For STL, I prefer the purple clay double over any of their other offerings (and over the Focalink doubles). You may be able to get one cheaper on the Focalink website too, but watch the shipping charges. With Songbird, I suggest sticking with the Focalink doubles. Also, I'm not sure if they are actively offered so you'll have to contact him. Hind's transverse doubles require softer breath than the Night by Noble and will cost a good bit more than others. I haven't tried any of his newer ones, but completely trust Spencer's sensibilities and integrity. Spencer is going to most likely require a wait, as his ocarinas are in high demand and he had a production setback (but has recovered) a few months ago. If you're willing to order internationally, then the options open up a good bit. If you're in the US, then you've got Spencer, Hind, Songbird, STL, and Imperial City Ocarinas - if you don't want to order internationally. I mostly play my 11 hole Oberon AC, so take all this with a grain of salt if you need advice from someone that is heavily into multis. The truth is, I don't play multis much anymore. ![]() It could be why I go for my TNG purple clay when I go for a multi. I do wish there was a matte finish version. Please insert information regarding Songbird's distinction in the ocarina market here.Takashi would be my suggestion if you want a nice round pure tone. Les plus populaires de leurs créations sont le DragonTooth (Dent De Dragon), The Muse, et leurs réplique tiré du jeu Legend Of Zelda:Ocarina Of Time (OOT).SongBird souhaitait faire leurs propres "Pendant Ocarina" (Ce que l'on peux appeler pendentif,les plus petits qui ont 4,6 ou 8 trou) mais cela a été annulé. SongBird Ocarinas font leurs propres ocarinas, et distribuent aussi les ocarina de Focalink (Basé en chine). ![]() Some of Songbird's popular ocarina styles are "The Dragontooth", "The Muse", and several versions of "The Ocarina of Time". Songbird Ocarinas create their own hand-made ceramic ocarinas, and are also distributors of Focalink ocarinas. Songbird Ocarinas is continually striving to make more beautifully sounding and enjoyably playable ocarinas! In 2007, Durian and the ocarinas moved to Los Angeles. When "The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" was released, the demand for ocarinas expanded exponentially, and Durian hired his friends to help keep up with the demand. He continued the journey by joining and traveling with a circus, always selling and practicing.Įventually he got tired of traveling and performing, and decided to settle down in Santa Barbara, California, where he practiced near beautiful mountains, beaches, a university to study ethnic music, and an arts and crafts market on the beach each Sunday. He spent a season there studying meditation with a teacher he had met in India, and making ocarinas at a mountain campsite. He returned to the United States, purchased a van, and traveled to Colorado. He travelled for a vast amount of years, selling ocarinas around the globe and honing his skills. He'd traded her a kalimba (thumb piano) that he had made, in return for teaching the basics of ocarina construction. He made a couple through direction, and then fired them on the beach in a driftwood fire, and then cooled them in the ocean. Songbird Ocarinas began when Durian Songbird made his first batch of ocarinas on misty Moonstone Beach in Northern California in 1989. His teacher was a very talented artist named Rena, who made ocarinas in the shape of turtles and dolphins.
