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.
