Aesthetics: It’s pretty, but a pretty instrument can still be bad.ĭO I RECOMMEND: No.Tone Quality: Decent, but the tuning issues caused by unnatural breath pressure really ruin the instrument for me.The breath pressure curve is unnatural and bad. This makes it very easy to be sharp on low notes and flat on high notes, making the ocarina very out of tune. Breath Pressure: Very low for low notes, very high for high notes.Tuning: Okay, but breath pressure inconsistencies make it hard to play in tune.It’s possible they might be different companies shopping from the same vendor. It’s worth noting that this ocarina and the awef ocarina are very similarly built, of similar quality, and came in nearly identical packaging. Aesthetics: Pretty! But too dark to see the strawfire details well.ĭO I RECOMMEND: No. Tone Quality: Good, but a bit airy and not stellar.Breath Pressure: Low, and overblowing high notes results in squeaking-the high notes have an unnatural breath curve and, for most people, require using the acute bend technique to play clearly.Tuning: Good, but felt a little inconsistent. The ergonomics were a bit wonky, but that can simply be attirbuted to my muscle memory being built on different ocarinas. I certainly might have gotten lucky, and they may have issues with consistensy as many cheap ocarinas do, but I was shocked that they simply didn’t have any glaring issues. They were in tune, sounded good, and were outrageously affordable.
