Ocarina Styles.

I feel bad that I've neglected to go into further detail about all the different kinds of Ocarinas that are out there like I said I would 8 posts ago. Now, I think the best way to do that is to let you peruse my modest little collection.

Cherry Wood Alto. (A sweet potato style, It's not really made of wood but it looks like it so I just call it that. Good for playing most Anime songs.) If you want to try and get one go here
Teds-DoReMe -Ebay store Very nice store for beginner Ocarinasts and He's very nice.
My Hylian Shield Pendant.(This is a 6 hole English style Pendant.
Perfectly capable of performance playing!) Find it Here -> Songbird Ocarinas Excellent products and even better customer service. 

  Black gloss Seed Pod pendant.
(Also a 6 hole pendant it's a Tenor in the key of "G" and is perfectly capable of preforming. Haven't thought of anything for it to play yet. >_>)
(Cheeky little birdie!) Find it Here -> Songbird Ocarinas There are 3 styles to choose from :)

Pututo Ocarina. (Made in Peru this is an 8 hole made more for aesthetics 
than for serious playing. Rich, deep tone but limited range and yes, it's in the shape of a conch shell.)        

The Dragon Tooth. (My "Trick" Ocarina. This is the one I reach for when I'm trying to learn a difficult song. Needless to say it's seen some abuse at the hands of my "Monkey-see-Monkey-do" little brother and my own carelessness.... oy vey... >_<) 
Go here -> Songbird Ocarinas  There are 2 to choose from: The standard and the Baby Dragon Tooth. Also both come in 2 styles: regular luster finish and Straw Fired. ♥

Lil Blue Soprano
(Not much to say other than that I love it!)
Teds-DoReMe -Ebay Store.


So you know, everything you've see so far are all single chamber ocarinas but there are double, triple and I think I've even heard of a quadruple! You'll have to wait until the next post to see some of what I like to call "Monster Ocarinas!" See you later! A.M.

Castle in the Sky on ocarina Duet

This is one of my first Ocarina performances that doesn't use a backtrack. As the video says, This was actually a Christmas present for my mom. She always wanted me to do something like this (She even learned a little Ocarina to help me out)  but I simply needed to tinker around for a little while. Then once I upgraded my Recording techniques the rest only took me a afternoon! XD 

(Also, this is the first video I've made using VideoPad. Thank Gosh I'm not going to use it that often! It doesn't like me.) @_@

 

I've already re-done a normal version of "Castle in the sky" on my Dragon Tooth (Which incidentally sounds amazing!!!)  

but I'm thinking of doing a special version combining the the normal version and the duet version. 

I also have 2 more videos that fall into the backtrack-less category. What are they you ask?

Well.....Since I don't have anything made right now, I'll give you a hint: 

Something from Okami and something from 

The Dark Crystal! 

 Intrigued? Good! Later! ♥

Gundam Seed Ending On Ocarina

I do Hope There are a few People who remember this series and at the very least remember it's music so here is the 1st ending from Gundam Seed. 
For optimum listening I recommend Good Desktop Speakers or headphones. 
It's just that I'm on a laptop so my Logitech speakers are essential!

Okami OST The Canine Warriors on Ocarina

Here's another song from the Okami vault. I was rather surprised by my Mom's reaction to this video. (I never post videos without her giving me the ok since she has WAY more musical experience than me) She thought it was the actual song...... "Oh! YOU"RE playing!" Then she gave me a big hug she was so happy my playing had gotten so skilled. I admit I felt pretty proud of myself after that.......♥♥

Okami Music.

This is one of my more recent videos. By this time, I upgraded to recording in my basement where the acoustics are much better than what's called 

"Bedroom Acoustics."

I have some older videos but I want to redo them before posting them.
