Radical Dreamers on a Focalink Double Alto C Ocarina

[shedininja001]

awesome

[MrZuQuitar]

is this the forte model? Thanks in advance :D

[ibookworm]

@MrZuQuitar No, it's the dulce.

[MrZuQuitar]

@ibookworm What is a dulce?

[ibookworm]

@MrZuQuitar Whoops, that should be spelled dolce. Dolce as opposed to forte. It's the basic Focalink model, not the louder/heavier forte.

[MrZuQuitar]

@ibookworm I see, I'm planning on getting one of focalink double ACs, do you think I should get the forte or the dolce?

[ibookworm]

@MrZuQuitar Well, I've never used the forte, so I couldn't say. My understanding is that it has a bolder tone, requires more breath, is heavier, and has the potential for more expressiveness. It is also more expensive. I had a blast with my dolce (insanely good instrument esp. for the price), but I actually currently use a Maparam Triple AC (no longer made, unfortunately), because my preference is for a lighter instrument with a smooth and consistent tone. It really comes down to personal taste.

[ibookworm]

@MrZuQuitar You've looked at The Ocarina Network, right? People have reviewed both models there.

[MrZuQuitar]

@ibookworm Thanks, Both the dolce and the Forte received good reviews. But in your opinion, is the dolce model a good ocarina to have as my first ocarina?

[ibookworm]

@MrZuQuitar Yes. It wasn't my first ocarina (that was a plastic Mountain ocarina) but I found it very easy to learn (you can easily stick to one chamber until you are ready to move on the full range) and very pleasing. It's not an instrument that fights you. It rewards you quickly. And it is very high quality, especially for the price.

So nice...

[Indigo327]

Ah. So beautiful. That's it! I'm buying one right now.

[xXSweetxNightmareXx]

And you were an amateur when you played this? It sounds amazing! :D Just one more reason I feel great about ordering one.

[LeeteaHutchin]

Great vid!!  I'm more in awe at the guitar playing than the ocarina!!

Best wishes!

;)

[ibookworm]

I'll be sure to pass the compliment along to Garageband. :-)

[LeeteaHutchin]

lol! No offense intended mate honestly!! I thought you played the backing track as well as the Occy!

Best wishes!!

wow very well played for just receiving your focalink double.

[armisis]

Bravo! Cant wait to get my focalink

[Turbo852]

Very nice!

[Kitheyn]

Beautiful song. Did you learn this by ear, or did you have tabs/sheet music, too? If so, can you tell me where to find them?

[ibookworm]

Unfortunately, I don't read sheet music, and I'm not familiar with tabs. I play by ear. It might be possible for me to export the melody line of the MIDI file in notation form from Garageband, though. I'll look into it.

[kissing88]

Wow, for having this ocarina for such a short time, you made a brilliant recording.

Congratulations, very much enjoyed ^^
