  • haha, u seem a little bored in this one XD

    well, i still like the "real" ocarinas better, though its a cool app :P

  • man i have to buy this

  • Since when does the iPod Touch have a speaker and a mic?

  • lol like since itouch 2.0 came out no mike though just speaker

  • I've seen some pictures on the Apple site of the iPod Touch and iPhone.

    The iPhone seemed to have one, but the iPod Touch doesn't.

    However, I'm going to my mother and sister in an hour, and my sister has the latest iPod Touch since a week ago.

    So I can see it myself.

  • it doesnt

  • I just like this song too much to call it "amazing"..played on a machine, it sounds so..technical?

  • iphones r awesome

  • Who r u calling a fucking idiot?

  • Die in a fire.

  • do u need an iphone for that app? or can u use da ipod touch

  • This now enables Ocarina to be used on iPhones AND the iPod Touch and you can find it here:

    You're a fucking idiot.

  • Awesome again! I have gotta get this app!

  • i wish my ipod had a microphone i hat the touch mode :(

  • are u blowing with ur nose or are sitting under a fan? :)

  • he set it to touch mode so that he didn't have to blow.

  • ..... this song was played at my granddads funeral..... and u just blew me away... it sounds beautiful even on a phone, u got some major talent there :)

  • *-* ohhhhhh cool =)

  • O,O

    first you blew into an ipod ..now you're playing ocarina on your iphone??!

    dude you're killin me!!! ^^

  • rofl.This is OK,but I like it better when you play.

  • i agree with the two comments below this one.

    I prefer your real instrument work.

  • real ocarinas are better ^^

  • NO WHY HAS THOW CONFORMED TO NEW AGE CRAP!!

    i may be an industrial Artist but i believe you must keep old school instruments untouched by this new age crap

  • New age crap?

    It's a digital fun alternative to a real instrument so that you can whip out your device somewhere and play. It's obviously not a replacement for a real ocarina, but it costs $1.00 and has a lot of configurations so it plays in many keys. Your rant is unwarranted.

  • No not really unwarranted

    it was written as more of a joke

    But my personal opinion on the Ipod ocarina thing stand that it isnt an instrument

    and it may cost a dollar but the ipod itself cost around 300

    it would be altogether cheaper to get the real thing.

    and when i say New age crap i mean in the way of New corporations making money by Taking instruments like the ocarina that have been perfected and downgrading it.

    it will just never sound the same or have the same feel to it.

  • I play the piano. So is an electronic keyboard a downgrade? No. It creates a different sound (a theoretically infinite number of different sounds, actually) than a piano. It would be foolish to call a keyboard "new age crap" instead of the wonder and innovation that it has been for the entire musical world.

    This is not a downgrade. It's called Ocarina because you hold it sort of like one and it has familiar fingerings. The similarities stop there. It's not an attempt to recreate the instrument.

  • haha i know about the electronic Keyboard, I play a Roland Myself.

    but in my terms its a totally different instrument but produced with the same intention as the piano

    witch i guess is hypocritical of everything ive been trying to get across lol

    I think my intention for the words "new age crap" would be the popular Overselling of the Ocarina as just a toy threw the Ipod

    With people looking at it that way it downgrades the total image of the ocarina

  • When smule contacts you again, please ask them to put they have touch mode in the description...... i didn't buy this for my ipod touch cuz i didn't know they had it.

  • great sound quality from the ipod :O even i was amazed

  • You look bored just sitting there not being able to play it yourself :(

  • lol you look really sleepy

  • i almost song along

  • lol your eyebrows went up at 0:14 - 0:17.

    5/5!

  • The key is F and the mode is Mixolydian.

  • I really don't understand modes. Aren't they similar to scales?

  • What key are you in?

  • lol looks like your realli into the music ;)

  • I've heard that it wouldn't work on iPod touch?

  • they updated it so u could use it on the ipod touch

  • k, thx :D

  • even when your sleepy you can still play the ocarina

  • You sould have held it up and pretended to actually blow into it. But still a very cool vid.

  • I used to love this song, but ever since they used it at my nana's funeral, it just makes me sad. It's a shame.

    You're good at playing the ocarina though, I've seen your other videos.

  • how can i get this app on my phone? and will it  work on a samsung mobil touch screan phone? D:

  • No. The apps are designed for iPod Touch and iPhone...

    They are programmed in a language unique to the iPod i believe

  • it only works on the iphone and ipod touch so srry but your outta luck

  • You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

    You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

    I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

    You raise me up To more than I can be.

    that song is so beautiful...

  • dude u look like ur sleepy but cool song!! u rock

  • so how dose that work with no holes on the bottom?

  • u should put that song on the website so others can play that wonderful music. i for one was lookin for that song.

  • pretty cool! :D

  • cool. sounds very electric tho

  • especially on the low notes :(

  • how many fingers can be touching the screen at the same time??/ thats crazy.

  • 5 duh :P

  • Not "duh", but I looked it up -- the iPhone / iPod Touch interface supports up to five discrete simultaneous touch points.

  • PCgeek2k8, you really have poor eyesight.

  • Thats an iphone, can this work on the touch, it has no mic!

  • bluetooth headset

  • Comment removed

  • hmm does this mean we might see an ocarina app for the DSi? u no with the whole 'DSWare' thing wer u cn download stuff

  • Very Cool, Do Some More Songs!

  • cant believe i wasted time watching this shit..lol

  • I never new that they had an ocarina app. I wanna get a itouch now!!! ^_^ Btw, cool song

  • I bought this app for my ipod touch, i was soooo excited :D until i realised it was Iphone only lol

    Been robbed of my ocarina playing fantasy just for a little while longer (:

  • Comment removed

  • So, for the ipod touch version, there is no blowing? Ok, beats the need to breathe out, and blow dust in your ipod touch's dock. But still, there is a microhone for it. Gosh, people are stupid these days. I AM SMART

  • that is soo cool they have an app for EVERYTHING now.

  • Cool!! XD

  • ur good

  • To what your playing your christian

  • Zelda27TP your right it sounds a lot like it i was actually thinking about millers crossing while he was playing lol

  • no it's an ipod otherwise he'd probly be blowing into it instead of touch mode

  • Just as good as ever. Although it sounds better on a real ocarina when you play.

  • learn to spell.

    you only wish you could play as good as him.

  • have u seen his other videos hes not a fag dont judge ppl too quickly

  • I doubt any of us know for sure.

    But the big question is, who the hell cares?

  • that sounds like danny boy

  • You look like your in this trance... but all the same nice ^.^

  • awesome he dosnt have to blow

  • i got this app and its awsome but it dosent sound the same

  • you need to change the key :P

    tap the green glowin thing :p

  • how i can have that?

  • That is really cool.

  • This was awesome! As much as I like the real ocarinas, keep doing the iOcarina videos. Ah, this makes me wanna watch Romeo X Juliet! (A romeo and juliet anime which has the Japanese version of this song as its opening theme)

  • are you even blowing in it?

  • No, he's not blowing in it. He stated in the description box that it's "touch mode".

  • I did read that, but using a blowing instrument without blowing in it? how can you controll how hard your "blowing" when your not?

  • You are awesome and I love you, but pleeeeeeeeeeeeease stick to real ocarinas!

  • Awesome!! i am getting a ipod touch hopefully soon this is the first app i am getting as i have a Ocarina and enjoy listening and playing it

  • the app cost like $ fivedallorz

  • It's really only one dollar...for now, anyway

  • nice awsome :D

  • You're still epic with the iPhone or iTouch app....but.....you are even MORE epic when you play real ocarinas. I miss that...

  • It's a neat idea but it is not as impressive when it's all touch pad.

  • please stick to real ocarina's they sound mnuch more beautiful

  • can you git that for the ipod touch

  • yup

  • Yeah, now you can.

  • thats kinda the whole point of the video

  • that was really good ^_^... but pls stand by real ocarinas.. they sounds sooo beautiful, sooo epic when u play them..

    this ocarina for ipod touch sounds 2 unreal.. sry for saying this.. :/

    but at all u are the best ocarina player i ever seen :DD i love all ur vids. u r such a great ocarina player... keep it on :D

    btw.. sry for my bad english^^

  • I must say, I like real ocarinas better. :/

  • OR you could use a real ocarina pl0x. Sounds so much more authentic.

  • Ah... I love this song. And you did it so pretty

  • soooo beautiful :'D

  • i agree, hes about to fall over lol! Thats a cool itouch feature too.

  • looks like you were falling asleep haha

  • aaaw... can't hear it...

  • sounds dead.

  • I axcn't here but its good

  • I like how you used a great song for this one, David, but I think it would have been better if it had been a real ocarina. No offense. Also, why the long face? Did one of your pets die? All that aside, I still love your playing, and keep it up.

  • I think that's more of a 3 a.m. face

  • Oh.  Never thought of it that way. Duh.

  • Is that sarcasm or are you being serious, it's hard to tell in text.

  • I was being serious. Sorry.

  • beautiful!! lol my friend made a ocarana out of clay!! lol GOOD JOB!!! i luv that song! 5 star!!!

  • doc, ur videos are amazing and so its ur talent. but i migth have to agree with some of the comments, not only u dun look as happy in the vid, i dun get the porpouse of it. but oh well, ur appeal and talent are undeniable, so please, never stop. u are good thing in this chaotic world.

  • Oh my god... This made me cry. My entire school sang this to our parents at my 5th grade graduation. It brings back memories. This song has a lot of emotion it.

  • This tune is similar to Johnny Cash's Danny Boy..

  • das kann ja jeder

  • it looks booring to me, sry..your just not looking as happy as your look in the itehr vids (my english sux)

  • Was great but i would better prefer with a real ocarina :) ! 5* stars David !

  • Something you might want to put in the information to this vid is that event though it is now compatible with the ipod Touch it ONLY works on the 2nd Gen iTouches. I downloaded the app with much glee and excitement and then when I tried to upload it to my itouch, it said it was incompatible with the 1st Gen. I was hoping to use my ear phones but that didn't work. I was shot down. Keep playing though your songs are great!

  • the real ocarina is much better

  • IT'S TOO DIGITAL! lol This is great!

  • you looked so bored playing

  • Hey David. Im sure you remember me from a while back. I still watch your videos every time they come out, and I wanted to say that youre really great with the Iphone Ocarina and all, but I think we all agree that we definately want to see some more real ocarina, maybe even both in one video that would be awesome. Ciao mate =3

  • I second that motion!

  • notion*

  • Ok, an n and m are right next to each other. (On a standard QWERTY keyboard). Do you REALLY have nothing better to do than correct Youtube typos? Is your day really that dull?

    On topic, I agree. A having both a digital and a real ocarina in one video would be nifty.

  • I just wasn't sure if he thought "motion" was the proper term or not. Too many people in America are already tremendously illiterate, I'm just trying to do my part.

  • The guy is a teacher. Elementary school or not, he'll have to deal with speech fanatics at work. (My mother is a speech language pathologist and she constantly bothers the elementary staff about using proper grammar in front of the kids.) I'd rather give give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he made a small typo.

    Oh yeah, and his little catch phrase being "Just keep reading" also leads me to believe he's not illiterate. Just sayin'

  • Cool addition to this app since I may be getting an iPod Touch in the future... but uhm, as many people said, real ocarinas are nicer to watch. This thing is cool, yes, nicely thought and is a must have for iPhone owners... I have nothing against it, but it just doesn't stand compared to your wide collection of ocarinas that sound beautiful! :(

    That being said, good performance nonetheless, but yeah, less impressing than your other vids.

  • beautiful song , no one can sing nearly as good as josh groban .

  • wow technology is certainly amazing... PLEASE RETURN TO CLAY OCARINAS!!!! please? :'( I miss the beautiful music of a clay ocarina. you cant do ballad of the windfish as passionately on an iPhone... YOU STILL OWN EITHER WAY!

  • nice, but I'd really rather watch u play real Ocarinas my friend.

  • I really prefer your real ocarina videos...

  • does it work on the samsung touch screen?

  • Playing the ocarina iphone requires blowing into the iphone to play the ocarina but you did without blowing into the iphone, how did you do that?

  • if you read the description, you'd know... It's a new update called Touch Mode. It doesn't require you to blow in the IPhone

  • thats is seem's so easy man dont use the iphone god its better that you can tune on settings god

  • docjazz, please stop make these videos of the iphone it is WAY more impressive and fun watch you play the real ocarina.

  • i agree, im not saying this is not a beautful song, last year spring concert for choir we sang this song, but it would be way more impressive on the ocarina, besides anyone can play the ipod touch and not too many people can play the ocarina

  • YAY! Thank you DocJazz!!! I was just got the smule ocarina on my itunes the other week and it didn't let me play because it was only available on the iphone so i was really sad, but now theres touch mode! Thanks for informing me!! Five Stars!

  • Cool! Now I need an ipod Touch. I did not know they could do the ocarina too.

  • Wow!!! Much easier this way

  • It's nice and all, I like SMULEs ocarina app, however I don't see it becoming as popular as a handmade ocarina. The electric sound is nice, but feels lacking in true emotion.

    I'll give SMULE a thumbs up for making this app available to so many, and raising ocarina awareness, but there is no way it will replace a handmade instrument.

  • omg! thats so sweet! i wish i had an iphone to add the app:p

  • beautiful in its very own special technological way! haha. not like the real thing though! we want real ocarina!

  • interesting. though I kinda think that a wind instrument should have some... well, wind to make it play. Seems like this beats the point of having a flute, if it plays like a piano. You know what I mean.

  • very hard to get any feeling from the instrument i imagine

  • good one

  • I want to.

  • nice! i see why you're making a lot of these ipod and iphone videos....i miss the real ones though...

  • very good docjazz4!

    i (like most people as it seems) like the regular ocarina better, but i find this very neat and...informative if you will, for people that haven't tried an original ocarina.

    maybe this will end up setting more awareness of this awesome instrument.
